Abstrakt: We study a systematic formation of continuous exceptional points (EPs) in a fully-asymmetric optical microdisk. A parametric generation of chiral EP modes is investigated by analyzing asymmetricity-dependent coupling elements in an effective Hamiltonian. It is shown that given the external perturbation, the frequency splitting around EPs is scaled by the fundamental "strength" of EPs [J. Wiersig, Phys. Rev. Res.4, 023121 (2022)10.1103/PhysRevResearch.4.023121] multiplied by the extra responding strength of the newly added perturbation. Our finding demonstrates that the sensitivity of EP-based sensors can be maximized by carefully examining the continuous formation of EPs.
