Parity–time reversal symmetry (PT-symmetry) in non-Hermitian systems realizes spontaneous symmetry breaking, thereby leading to counterintuitive phenomena. A coupled system with antisymmetric gain/loss profiles is required to introduce PT-symmetry into photonics. Remarkably, exciton-polaritons (the hybrid nature of excitons and photons) are directly interactive via excitonic components. Here we demonstrate that such direct coupling can remodel conventional photonic platforms of non-Hermitian systems into polaritonic platforms with a single component. We focused on the sixfold-symmetric microcavity to exploit degenerated photonic modes. By employing direct coupling with loss modulation, we observed room-temperature polaritonic PT symmetry with a phase transition from unbroken to broken, revealing the lowest threshold of polariton condensates in non-Hermitian degeneracies despite the increasing loss.
