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…
Low loss switchable topological photonic crystal enabled by submicron-scale patterning and phase-change of Sb2Se3
Takahiro Uemura, Yuto Moritake, Eiichi Kuramochi +3
Photonic topological insulators (PTIs) offer robust platforms for light manipulation, but reconfigurable control of their topological properties without degrading performance remai…
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…
BIC slow light waveguides based on interband coupling
Sae R. Endo, Yuta Tanimura, Takahiro Ito +5
Harnessing bound states in the continuum (BICs) for guiding light in leaky environments has unlocked new possibilities in photonic integrated circuits. BIC confinement enables low-…
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…
Slow Light Waveguides based on Bound States in the Continuum
Yuta Tanimura, Yuki Ishii, Kenta Takata +4
The concept of bound states in the continuum (BIC) has been advancing light confinement technology in leaky environments. In this letter, we propose and numerically demonstrate a s…
