The effective parity time (PT) symmetry in the passive system has received much attention, and in this open three-state PT symmetric system, the incident wave is used as the effective gain instead of balancing the material gain and loss. We analyze the variation of coherent perfect absorption of this system with the coupling coefficient of the system by simulation.展开更多
