Supersymmetric non-Hermitian topological interface laser
arXiv:2210.12592 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.107.085302
Abstract
We investigate laser emission at the interface of a topological and trivial phases with loss and gain. The system is described by a Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model with site-dependent hopping parameters. We study numerically and analytically the interface states. The ground state is described by the Jackiw-Rebbi mode with a pure imaginary energy, reflecting the non-Hermiticity of the system. It is strictly localized only at the A sites. We also find a series of analytic solutions of excited states based on SUSY quantum mechanics, where the A and B sites of the bipartite lattice form SUSY partners. We then study the system containing loss and gain with saturation. The Jackiw-Rebbi mode is extended to a nonlinear theory, where B sites are also excited. The relative phases between A and B sites are fixed, and hence it will serve as a large area coherent laser.
