Nanocavity Confinement by Orthogonal Valley- and SSH- Topological Interfaces In Glide-Symmetric Photonic Crystal Structures

Takahiro Uemura, Wei Dai, Yuto Moritake +3

Valley photonic crystals enable valley-dependent transport and chirality-selective emission, but incorporating wavelength-scale localization remains challenging. Existing valley-ph…

Transverse spin texture in optical non-Hermitian skin modes

Naoki Ichiji, Issei Takeda, Taiki Yoda +3

In structured electromagnetic fields, polarization textures are often closely linked to the spatial variation of the energy flow. However, this familiar picture has been establishe…

Chiral-Mode Control around a Hermitian Diabolic Point in Discrete Non-Hermitian Coupled Resonators

Kota Yagi, Takahiro Uemura, Yuto Moritake +2

Motivated by the prospect of chiral-mode control in compact photonic systems, we analyze discrete coupled single-mode resonators. Using the minimal three-resonator model, we show t…

Fine Structures of Berry Curvature and Unquantized Valley Chern Numbers in Valley Photonic Crystals

Wei Dai, Taiki Yoda, Yuto Moritake +1

Valley photonics has emerged as a promising platform in topological photonic systems, yet the topological nature of valley-dependent phenomena remains unsettled. Theoretically, int…

Observation of non-Hermitian point gap in photonic crystals

Yuto Moritake, Nozomi Ogawa, Issei Takeda +7

Non-Hermitian point gap (NHPG) is a unique phenomenon in non-Hermitian systems and induces non-Hermitian skin effect (NHSE). In photonic crystals, NHPG and the NHSE have previously…

Transition from exceptional points to observable nonlinear bifurcation points in anti-PT symmetric coupled cavity systems

Takahiro Uemura, Kenta Takata, Masaya Notomi

Exceptional points (EPs) in anti-parity-time (APT)-symmetric systems have attracted significant interest. While linear APT-symmetric systems exhibit structural similarities with no…

Chiral Diffraction from Aperiodic Monotile Lattice

Yuto Moritake, Masato Takiguchi, Takuma Aihara +1

Aperiodic systems such as quasiperiodic systems exhibit unique properties different from periodic structures. In 2023, Smith et al. discovered a new aperiodic structure: a single-s…

Propagation and circulating modes of reciprocal non-Hermitian skin effect

Issei Takeda, Taiki Yoda, Yuto Moritake +2

The non-Hermitian skin effect (NHSE) is a novel localization phenomenon, in which all bulk states in a non-Hermitian system under certain conditions are localized at the edge of th…
