Observation of Landau levels and topological edge states in photonic crystals through pseudomagnetic fields induced by synthetic strain

René Barczyk, L. Kuipers, Ewold Verhagen

The control over light propagation and localization in photonic crystals offers wide applications from sensing and on-chip routing to lasing and quantum light-matter interfaces. Wh…

Breakdown of spin-to-helicity locking at the nanoscale in topological photonic crystal edge states

Sonakshi Arora, Thomas Bauer, Nikhil Parappurath +3

We measure the local near-field spin in topological edge state waveguides that emulate the quantum spin Hall effect. We reveal a highly structured spin density distribution that is…
