Twisted light from topological chiral exceptional points in a nanolaser array

Kaiwen Ji, Melissa Hedir, Qi Zhong +3

We propose and experimentally demonstrate an orbital angular momentum (OAM) nanolaser array arranged in a ring geometry on an InP-based photonic crystal membrane. The device realiz…

Quantum density matrix theory for a laser without adiabatic elimination of the population inversion: transition to lasing in the class-B limit

Alejandro M. Yacomotti, Zakari Denis, Alberto Biella +1

Despite the enormous technological interest in micro and nanolasers, surprisingly, no class-B quantum density-matrix model is available to date, capable of accurately describing co…

Direct observation of zero modes in a non-Hermitian nanocavity array

Flore Hentinger, Melissa Hedir, Bruno Garbin +5

Zero modes are symmetry protected ones whose energy eigenvalues have zero real parts. In Hermitian arrays, they arise as a consequence of the sublattice symmetry, implying that the…
