Resonant edge-site pumping of polaritonic Su-Schrieffer-Heeger lattices
arXiv:1807.03667 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.98.023801
Abstract
We have theoretically investigated Su-Schrieffer-Heeger chains modelled as optical lattices (OL) loaded with exciton-polaritons. The chains have been subject to the resonant pumping of the edge site and shaken in either adiabatic or high-frequency regime. The topological state has been controlled by the relative phases of the lasers constructing the OL. The dynamic problem of the occupation of the lattice sites and eigenstates has been semi-classically solved. Finally, the analysis of the occupation numbers evolution has revealed that gapless, topologically trivial and non-trivial chain configurations demonstrate perceptible behaviour from both qualitative (occupation pattern) and quantitative (total occupation) points of view.
