Data for: A coupled optical waveguides system in a fluidic medium that elucidates different parity-time-symmetric phases

This research introduces a novel methodology of harnessing liquids to facilitate the realization of parity-time (PT)- symmetric optical waveguides on highly integrated microscale platforms. Additionally, we propose a realistic and detailed fabrication process flow, demonstrating the practical feasibility of fabricating our optofluidic system, thereby bridging the gap between theoretical design and actual implementation. Extensive research has been conducted over the past two decades on PT-symmetric systems across various fields, given their potential to foster a new generation of compact, power-efficient sensors and signal processors with enhanced performance. Passive PT-symmetry in optics can be achieved by evanescently coupling two optical waveguides and incorporating an optically lossy material into one of the waveguides. The essential coupling distance between two optical waveguides in air is usually less than 500 nm for nearinfrared wavelengths and under 100 nm for ultraviolet wave..., , , # Data for: A coupled optical waveguides system in a fluidic medium that elucidates different parity-time-symmetric phases
