Antichiral hinge states in a higher-order photonic nodal ring semimetal
Yuchen Peng, Deep Mondal, Yuting Yang +17
Antichiral states propagate in the same direction on opposite boundaries, defying the conventional constraint that boundary modes must cancel net chirality. Previously found antich…
Dirac branch-cut modes with relativistic transport
Bofeng Zhu, Chengzhi Ma, Qiang Wang +6
Emergent Dirac fields, exhibiting effective relativistic physics, are most commonly associated with bulk and surface states in materials such as graphene and topological insulators…
Nonlinear topological edge states, topological gap solitons, and self-induced topological edge states in nonlinear Su-Schrieffer-Heeger circuit lattices
Rujiang Li, Wencai Wang, Xiangyu Kong +5
Topological edge states typically arise at the boundaries of topologically nontrivial structures or at interfaces between regions with different topological invariants. When topolo…
A time grating approach to ultrahigh-Q guided mode resonance
Youxiu Yu, Xiaofeng Xu, Yang Long +4
Guided mode resonance (GMR), the resonant coupling of free-space light into leaky waveguide modes, is traditionally achieved with periodic patterned structures. However, this appro…
Chiral Valley Edge States
Jian-Wei Liu, Gui-Geng Liu, Bo Zhang +7
Valleytronics has emerged as a promising paradigm, enabling comprehensive control of the valley degree of freedom (DoF) for energy-efficient and high-speed information processing.…
Realization of Topology-controlled Photonic Cavities in a Valley Photonic Crystal
Bei Yan, Baoliang Liao, Fulong Shi +11
We report an experimental realization of a new type of topology-controlled photonic cavities in valley photonic crystals by adopting judiciously oriented mirrors to localize the va…
