The study established a nonlinear non-Hermitian topological platform for active tuning of PT symmetry and topological states, revealing the interaction between sensitivity close to exceptional points and the robustness of non-Hermitian topological states. The research provides opportunities for unconventional light manipulation and device applications through single-channel control of global PT symmetry and topology via local nonlinearity.
Topology, parity-time (PT) symmetry, and nonlinearity are at the origin of many fundamental phenomena in complex systems across the natural sciences, but their mutual interplay remains unexplored. We established a nonlinear non-Hermitian topological platform for active tuning of PT symmetry and topological states. We found that the loss in a topological defect potential in a non-Hermitian photonic lattice can be tuned solely by nonlinearity, enabling the transition between PT-symmetric and non-PT-symmetric regimes and the maneuvering of topological zero modes. The interaction between two apparently antagonistic effects is revealed: the sensitivity close to exceptional points and the robustness of non-Hermitian topological states. Our scheme using single-channel control of global PT symmetry and topology via local nonlinearity may provide opportunities for unconventional light manipulation and device applications.
