PT-symmetric coupler with a coupling defect : soliton interaction with exceptional point [PDF]

, 2014
We study the interaction of a soliton in a parity-time (PT) symmetric coupler which has local perturbation of the coupling constant. This defect does not change the PT-symmetry of the system, but locally can achieve the exceptional point.
