摘要

Abstract

Exceptional points have given rise to many intriguing optical phenomena that are of fundamental importance for a variety of breakthrough technologies. The pre-defined Mie scatterers can bring a resonator to an exceptional point

and result in enhanced quality factor through coherently suppressing the backward scattering.
