Abstract

This article reviews the development of photonic analogues of quantum Hall effects, which have given rise to broad interest in topological phenomena in photonic systems over the past decade. We cover early investigations of geometric phases, analogies between electronic systems and the spectra of periodic photonic media including photonic crystals, efforts to generalize topological band theory to open, dissipative, and nonlinear wave systems, pursuit of useful device applications, and ongoing studies of photonic Hall effects in classical nonlinear optics and the quantum regime of strong photon-photon interactions.
