Robust localized zero-energy modes from locally embedded PT-symmetric defects
arXiv:2006.04264 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevResearch.2.032057
Abstract
We demonstrate the creation of robust localized zero-energy states that are induced into topologically trivial systems by insertion of a PT-symmetric defect with local gain and loss. A pair of robust localized states induced by the defect turns into zero-energy modes when the gain-loss contrast exceeds a threshold, at which the defect states encounter an exceptional point. Our approach can be used to obtain robust lasing or perfectly absorbing modes in any part of the system.
