Harnessing coupled nanolasers near exceptional points for directional emission.

Tailoring the losses of optical systems within the frame of non-Hermitian physics has appeared very fruitful in the past few years. In particular, the description of exceptional points (EPs) with coupled resonators has become widespread. The on-chip realization of these functionalities is crucial for integrated nanophotonics but requires fine control techniques of the nanodevice properties.
