    (a) Distribution of field amplitude from the COMSOL simulation at 227 GHz. (b) The calculated real part of kPT in the structure. At the central of the structure, the PT phase is exact, while across EPs, the PT phase is broken.

    (a) Distribution of energy flux Sx inside the two WGs at 227 GHz. (b) Distribution of the two-dimensional energy flux in the xy plane. Green arrows (with a number of M = 8) at the lower blank space represent the direction of energy flux in the coupled WGs.
