We present the experimental demonstration of occurrence exceptional points degeneracy (EPDs) in a single resonator by introducing linear time-periodic variation one its components. This is contrast with requirement two coupled resonators parity time-symmetric systems precise values gain and loss. In proposed scheme, only tuning modulation frequency required, which easily achieved electronic systems.

A periodically loaded waveguide composed of periodic discrete nonlinear gain and radiating elements supports a stable oscillation regime related to the presence an exceptional point degeneracy (EPD). After reaching saturation, EPD in system establishes frequency. We demonstrate synchronization at frequency, resulting uniform saturated across array power. Unlike conventional one-dimensional cavity resonances, frequency is independent length. Our investigations further show that when...

The dispersion of a three-way waveguide is engineered to exhibit exceptional modal characteristics. Two coupled waveguides with parity-time ($\mathcal{P}\mathcal{T}$) symmetry have been previously demonstrated second order points degeneracy (EPDs). In this work, we introduce and investigate particular class EPDs, applicable from radio frequency optical wavelengths, whereby three satisfy glide-time ($\mathcal{G}\mathcal{T}$) third real-valued wave number. $\mathcal{G}\mathcal{T}$ involves...

The EPD the parameter space system at which or more eigenmodes coalesce both their eigenvalues (here, resonance frequencies) eigenvectors. We show that finite-length single line with loss possesses no point, whereas second-order EPDs are enabled (CTLs) loss. demonstrate...
We show the physical realization and experimental demonstration of an exceptional point sixth-order degeneracy in a triple-ladder (or three-way) microwave waveguide realized using three coupled microstrips on grounded dielectric substrate. This three-way supports six Bloch eigenmodes, all coalesce into degenerate single eigenmode at given frequency. The is gainless, this associated with vanishing-group velocity its multiple derivatives. Indeed, $\ensuremath{\omega}\ensuremath{-}k$ dispersion...
Exceptional points of degeneracy (EPD) can enhance the sensitivity circuits by orders magnitude. We show various configurations coupled LC resonators via a gyrator that support EPDs second and third-order. Each resonator includes capacitor inductor with positive or negative value, corresponding EPD frequency could be real imaginary. When perturbation occurs in second-order gyrator-based circuit, we there are two real-valued frequencies shifted from one, following square root law. This is...
