▎ 摘  要

The spectral singularity existing in PT-synthetic plasmonic system has been widely investigated. Only lasing-mode can be excited resulting from the passive characteristic of metallic materials. Here, we investigated the spectral singularity in the hybrid structure composed of the photoexcited graphene and one-dimensional PT-diffractive grating. In this system, both lasing- and absorption-modes can be excited with the surface conductivity of photoexcited graphene being loss and gain, respectively. Remarkably, the spectral singularity will disappear with the optically pumped graphene to be lossless. In particular, we find that spectral singularities can exhibit symmetry-modes, when the loss and gain of the grating is unbalanced. Meanwhile, by tuning the loss (gain) of graphene and non-PT diffraction grating, lasing- and absorption-modes can also be excited. We hope that tunable optical modes at spectral singularities can have some applications in designing novel surface-enhanced spectroscopies and plasmon lasers.
