When two resonant modes in a system with gain or loss coalesce in both their resonance position and their width, a so-called "Exceptional Point" occurs which acts as a source of non-trivial physics in a diverse range of systems. Lasers…

Exceptional points of a dissipative chain of three coupled oscillators (trimer), which is driven by quadratic photon, are investigated. The exceptional points emerge from the coalescence of both eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the dynamical…
