Fig. 1: EP clarifications and applications.
From: Resonant and scattering exceptional points in non-Hermitian metasurfaces

According to the different analytical methods, the EP of the metasurface can be divided into two types: resonant EP96,97, related to the mode evaluation, and scattering EP78,79,117,127,131,133, related to the S-matrix. Based on different element combinations, the scattering EP can be further clarified.
