Wavefront dislocations reveal the topology of quasi-1D photonic insulators
C. Dutreix, M. Bellec, P. Delplace +1
Phase singularities appear ubiquitously in wavefields, regardless of the wave equation. Such topological defects can lead to wavefront dislocations, as observed in a humongous numb…
Observation of supersymmetric pseudo-Landau levels in strained microwave graphene
Matthieu Bellec, Charles Poli, Ulrich Kuhl +2
Using an array of coupled microwave resonators arranged in a deformed honeycomb lattice, we experimentally observe the formation of pseudo-Landau levels in the whole crossover from…
Anisotropic nonlinear refractive index measurement of a photorefractive crystal via spatial self-phase modulation
Omar Boughdad, Aurélien Eloy, Fabrice Mortessagne +2
We show that the refractive index modification photoinduced in a biased nonlinear photorefractive crystal can be accurately measured and controlled by means of a background incoher…
Broadband integrated beam splitter using spatial adiabatic passage
Tommaso Lunghi, Florent Doutre, Alicia Petonela Rambu +7
Light routing and manipulation are important aspects of integrated optics. They essentially rely on beam splitters which are at the heart of interferometric setups and active routi…
Superfluid motion and drag-force cancellation in a fluid of light
Claire Michel, Omar Boughdad, Mathias Albert +2
Quantum fluids of light merge many-body physics and nonlinear optics, through the study of light propagation in a nonlinear medium under the shine of quantum hydrodynamics. One of…
Non-diffracting states in one-dimensional Floquet photonic topological insulators
Matthieu Bellec, Claire Michel, Haisu Zhang +2
One dimensional laser-written modulated photonic lattices are known to be particularly suitable for diffraction management purposes. Here, we address the connection between discret…
Partial chiral symmetry-breaking as a route to spectrally isolated topological defect states in two-dimensional artificial materials
Charles Poli, Henning Schomerus, Matthieu Bellec +2
Bipartite quantum systems from the chiral universality classes admit topologically protected zero modes at point defects. However, in two-dimensional systems these states can be di…
Energy landscape in two-dimensional Penrose-tiled quasicrystal
Patrizia Vignolo, Matthieu Bellec, Julian Boehm +4
Since their spectacular experimental realisation in the early 80's, quasicrystals have been the subject of very active research, whose domains extend far beyond the scope of solid…
Microwave Experiments Simulating Quantum Search and Directed Transport in Artificial Graphene
Julian Böhm, Matthieu Bellec, Fabrice Mortessagne +7
A series of quantum search algorithms have been proposed recently providing an algebraic speedup compared to classical search algorithms from to , where is the nu…
Selective enhancement of topologically induced interface states in a dielectric resonator chain
C. Poli, M. Bellec, U. Kuhl +2
The recent realization of topological phases in insulators and superconductors has advanced the quest for robust quantum technologies. The prospects to implement the underlying top…
Manipulation of edge states in microwave artificial graphene
Matthieu Bellec, Ulrich Kuhl, Gilles Montambaux +1
Edge states are one important ingredient to understand transport properties of graphene nanoribbons. We study experimentally the existence and the internal structure of edge states…
