Enhanced quantum emission from a topological Floquet resonance

Shirin Afzal, Tyler J. Zimmerling, Mahdi Rizvandi +6

Entanglement is a valuable resource in quantum information technologies. The practical implementation of entangled photon sources faces obstacles from imperfections and defects inh…

Ultrawide Edge State Supercontinuum in a Floquet-Lieb Topological Photonic Insulator

Hanfa Song, Tyler Zimmerling, Bo Leng +1

Conventional topological photonic insulators typically have narrow nontrivial band gaps truncated by broad dispersive bulk bands, resulting in limited edge mode transmission bandwi…

N-Band Photonic Hopf Insulators Based on 2D Microring Lattices

Bo Leng, Vien Van

Hopf insulators are topological insulators whose topological behavior arises from the nontrivial mapping from a 3D sphere to a 2D sphere, known as the Hopf map. The Hopf map, typic…

One-dimensional quasi bound states in the continuum in the ω~k space for nonlinear optical applications

Kaili Sun, Hui Jiang, Dmitry A. Bykov +4

The phenomenon of bound state in the continuum (BIC) with infinite quality factor and lifetime has emerged in recent years in photonics as a new tool of manipulating light-matter i…

Floquet Mode Resonance: Trapping light in the bulk mode of a Floquet topological insulator by quantum self-interference

Shirin Afzal, Vien Van

Floquet topological photonic insulators characterized by periodically-varying Hamiltonians are known to exhibit much richer topological behaviors than static systems. In a Floquet…

Realization of Anomalous Floquet Insulators in Strongly-Coupled Nanophotonic Lattices

Shirin Afzal, Tyler J. Zimmerling, Yang Ren +2

We experimentally realized Floquet topological photonic insulators using a square lattice of direct-coupled octagonal resonators. Unlike previously reported topological insulator s…

Controlling evanescent waves using silicon photonic all-dielectric metamaterials for dense integration

Saman Jahani, Sangsik Kim, Jonathan Atkinson +11

Ultra-compact, densely integrated optical components manufactured on a CMOS-foundry platform are highly desirable for optical information processing and electronic-photonic co-inte…
