Antichiral hinge states in a higher-order photonic nodal ring semimetal

Yuchen Peng, Deep Mondal, Yuting Yang +17

Antichiral states propagate in the same direction on opposite boundaries, defying the conventional constraint that boundary modes must cancel net chirality. Previously found antich…

A time grating approach to ultrahigh-Q guided mode resonance

Youxiu Yu, Xiaofeng Xu, Yang Long +4

Guided mode resonance (GMR), the resonant coupling of free-space light into leaky waveguide modes, is traditionally achieved with periodic patterned structures. However, this appro…

Topology with memory in nonlinear driven-dissipative photonic lattices

Subhaskar Mandal, Gui-Geng Liu, Baile Zhang

We consider a photonic lattice of nonlinear lossy resonators subjected to a coherent drive, where the system remembers its topological phase. Initially, the system is topologically…
