contents In this study, motivated by recent advancements in non-Hermitian physics, we explore new characteristics of Dirac semimetals (DSMs) using the spectral singularities by means of scattering techniques, with the goal of uncovering additional unique properties. To achieve this, we investigate how the axion texture of a DSM affects its topological properties by analyzing its interaction with electromagnetic waves. We examine the transverse electric (TE) mode configuration, where the magneto-electric effect induces a dichroic property in these materials. This behavior is particularly interesting and commonly seen in potential DSM candidates. Consequently, we report for the first time that a dichroic DSM generates 12 unique topological laser types. We discover that surface currents are generated by topological terms on the surface of the DSM slab. Furthermore, we examine how the θ term associated with axions in topological materials contributes to these topological properties. Our study reveals distinct topological role of the θ term more clearly than ever before. Our results confirm that the topological properties of DSMs with a single Dirac cone remain stable under external influences and that a topologically robust DSM laser can be developed accordingly
