In non-Hermitian systems, controlling the gain or loss of the system can enable the system state transition from PT-symmetry to broken PT-symmetry. This transition leads to a special point known as the exceptional point, where the system eigenvalues and eigenstates become simultaneously degenerate. When combined with metasurfaces, the exceptional point leads to various intriguing optical phenomena, such as asymmetric transmission, exceptional topological phase, and the non-Hermitian skinning effect. However, active metasurfaces introducing gains are difficult to realize experimentally. Therefore, designing passive metasurfaces using equivalent gains through loss becomes a powerful tool in non-Hermitian research. In this paper, we review the theoretical models, research progress, specific applications, and experimental design in the study of the exceptional point on passive non-Hermitian metasurfaces and look forward to the future direction of this field.
