Let a,ba, b and λ\lambda be positive real numbers. Suppose PP is an end point of the latus rectum of the parabola y2=4λxy^{2}=4 \lambda x, and suppose the ellipse x2a2+y2b2=1\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}+\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1 passes through the point PP. If the tangents to the parabola and the ellipse at the point PP are perpendicular to each other, then the eccentricity of the ellipse is
