Topology-Enabled Switchable Unidirectional Radiative Band in a Bilayer Photonic Crystal

Zhiyi Yuan, Vytautas Valuckas, Yuhao Wang +6

Controlling how an open photonic system exchanges energy with its environment-and in particular how it radiates into the far field-is a cornerstone of non-Hermitian wave physics an…

Observation of polaritonic flat-band bound states in the continuum in a 2D magnet

Fuhuan Shen, Jiahao Ren, Zhiyi Yuan +5

Flat-band bound states in the continuum (BICs) are topological states with suppressed group velocity and robustness against radiation loss, offering a powerful platform for the exp…

Generalized Non-Hermitian Hamiltonian for Guided Resonances in Photonic Crystal Slabs

Viet Anh Nguyen, Hung Son Nguyen, Zhiyi Yuan +6

We develop a generalized non-Hermitian Hamiltonian formalism for guided resonances in photonic crystal slabs, derived directly from Maxwell's equations through a systematic guided-…

Hybridization of Non-Hermitian Topological Interface Modes

Yuhao Wang, Hai-Chau Nguyen, Zhiyi Yuan +5

We propose and experimentally demonstrate the hybridization of radiating topological interface states, analogous to Jackiw-Rebbi states but in gain media with radiation fields. Thi…

Micrometer-resolution fluorescence and lifetime mappings of CsPbBr nanocrystal films coupled with a TiO grating

Viet Anh Nguyen, Linh Thi Dieu Nguyen, Thi Thu Ha Do +15

Enhancing light emission from perovskite nanocrystal (NC) films is essential in light-emitting devices, as their conventional stacks often restrict the escape of emitted light. Thi…
