A new approach for engineering the controllable asymmetric coupling in active cavity lattices is experimentally demonstrated. Non-Hermitian skin effect is observed in the proposed Hatano-Nelson phase-locked laser array along with single mode lasing and variable emission distribution. The freedom to design at will the exchange interactions in active lattices enables many possibilities in optics, ranging from a new class of reconfigurable lasers capable of generating steerable emission, to non-Hermitian topological lattices.
