摘要：
We report parity-time (PT) symmetry breaking in electrically injected, coherently coupled, vertical cavity surface emitting laser arrays. We predict beam steering, mode evolution, and mode hopping as consequences of the non-Hermiticity of the array, analyzed by the temporal coupled-mode theory with both an asymmetric gain distribution and local frequency detuning. We present experimental confirmations of the predicted mode evolution, mode hopping, and PT symmetry breaking with quantitative agreement with the theory. (C) 2017 Optical Society of America
