Dynamic localization of light from a time-dependent effective gauge field for photons

Abstract

We introduce a method to achieve three-dimensional dynamic localization of light. We consider a dynamically-modulated resonator lattice that has been previously shown to exhibit an effective gauge potential for photons. When such an effective gauge potential varies sinusoidally in time, dynamic localization of light can be achieved. Moreover, while previous works on such effective gauge potential for photons were carried out in the regime where the rotating wave approximation is valid, the effect of dynamic localization persists even when the counter-rotating term is taken into count.
