Engineering topological edge states in two dimensional magnetic photonic crystal
arXiv:1712.09565 · doi:10.1063/1.4973990
Abstract
Based on a perturbative approach, we propose a simple and efficient method to engineer topological edge states in two dimensional magnetic photonic crystals. The topological edge states in the microstructures can be constructed and varied by altering the parameters of the microstructure according to the fieldenergy distributions of the Bloch states at the related Bloch wave vectors. The validity of the proposed method has been demonstrated by exact numerical calculations through three concrete examples. Our method makes the topological edge states 'designable'.
