Abstract

The polarization control of micro/nano lasers is an important topic in nanophotonics. Up to now, the simultaneous generation of two distinguishable orthogonally-polarized lasing modes from a single organic microlaser remains a critical challenge. Here, we demonstrate simultaneously orthogonally-polarized dual lasing from a microcavity filled with an organic single crystal exhibiting selective strong coupling. We show that the non-Hermiticity due to polarization-dependent losses leads to the formation of real and imaginary Fermi arcs with exceptional points. Simultaneous orthogonally-polarized lasing becomes possible thanks to the eigenstate mixing by the photonic spin-orbit coupling at the imaginary Fermi arcs. Our work provides a novel way to develop linearly-polarized lasers and paves the way for the future fundamental research in topological photonics, non-Hermitian optics, and other fields.
