| contents | The unique properties of exceptional point (EP) singularities, arising from non-Hermitian physics, have unlocked new possibilities for manipulating light-matter interactions. A tailored gain-loss variation, while encircling higher-order EPs dynamically, can significantly enhance the control of the topological flow of light in multi-level photonic systems. In particular, the integration of dynamically encircled higher-order EPs within fiber geometries holds remarkable promise for advancing specialty optical fiber applications, though a research gap remains in exploring and realizing such configurations. Here, we report a triple-core specialty optical fiber engineered with customized loss and gain to explore the topological characteristics of a third-order exceptional point (EP3), formed by two interconnected second-order exceptional points (EP2s). We elucidate chiral and nonchiral light transmission through the fiber, grounded in second- and third-order branch point behaviors and associated adiabatic and nonadiabatic modal characteristics, while considering various dynamical parametric loops to encircle the embedded EPs. We investigate the persistence of EP-induced light dynamics specifically in the parametric regions immediately adjacent to, though not encircling, the embedded EPs, potentially leading to improved device performance. Our findings offer significant implications for the design and implementation of novel light management technologies in all-fiber photonics and communications. |
