Coexistence of dipolar and quadrupolar higher-order topology
Konstantin Rodionenko, Maxim Mazanov, Maxim A. Gorlach
Two-dimensional higher-order topological insulators are typically classified either as dipolar or quadrupolar depending on the relevant invariant. These two classes were previously…

Long-range evanescent coupling through photonic molecules
Romina Abarca-Ramírez, Diego Román-Cortés, Maxim Mazanov +4
Photonic molecules support the excitation of higher-order states, which are otherwise hard to access at individual waveguides. In this work, we demonstrate the resonant excitation…

Crafting crystalline topological insulators via accidental mode degeneracies
Konstantin Rodionenko, Maxim Mazanov, Maxim A. Gorlach
Crystalline topological insulators have recently become a powerful platform for realizing photonic topological states from microwaves to the visible. Appropriate geometric symmetri…
