Abstract

The sensitivity of perturbation sensing can be effectively enhanced with higher-order exceptional points due to the nonlinear response to frequency splitting. However, experimental implementation is challenging since all the parameters need to be precisely prepared. The emergence of an exceptional surface (ES) improves the robustness of the system to the external environment, while maintaining the same sensitivity. Here, we propose, to our knowledge, the first scalable protocol for realizing a photonic high-order ES with passive resonators. By adding one or more additional passive resonators in the low-order ES photonic system, the three- or arbitrary N-order ES is constructed and proved to be easily realized in experiment. We show that the sensitivity is enhanced and the experimental demonstration is more resilient against fabrication errors. The additional phase-modulation effect is also investigated.
