Exceptional points of a dissipative chain of three coupled oscillators (trimer), which is driven by quadratic photon, are investigated. The exceptional points emerge from the coalescence of both eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the dynamical matrix that describes the first moments of the trimer. At the exceptional point, we found that the optical spectrum is split into two peaks, instead of a conventional single peak, as in the case of a single oscillator. In particular, the positions of these peaks correspond to the natural frequency of the trimer in a \textit{closed system}, which depends only on the coupling strength. Furthermore, after passing the exceptional point, the peak positions do not change, which can be used to estimate the coupling strength between oscillators. |
