contents We develop a Coherent Perfect Absorption (CPA) protocol for cases where scale invariance is violated due to the presence of nonlinear mechanisms. We demonstrate, using a microwave setting that lacks geometrical symmetries, that the nonlinearity offers new reconfigurable modalities: the destruction or formation of nonlinear CPAs (NL-CPAs), and their frequency positioning and bandwidth management using the incident power as a control knob. The latter occurs via the formation of exceptional point degeneracies of the zeroes of nonlinear scattering processes. Our results establish NL-CPA protocols as a versatile scheme for the creation of reconfigurable hot/cold-spots in complicated enclosures (e.g. buildings or vessels) with applications to next-generation telecommunications, long-range wireless power transfer, and electromagnetic warfare.
