Extraction of power transmission parameters from PT-symmetric waveguides
Chengnian Huang, Zhihao Lan, Menglin L. N. Chen +1
The PT-symmetric waveguides have been frequently discussed in the photonics community due to their extraordinary properties. Especially, the study of power transmission is signific…
Spin and Orbital Angular Momenta of Electromagnetic Waves: From Classical to Quantum Forms
Wei E. I. Sha, Zhihao Lan, Menglin L. N. Chen +2
Angular momenta of electromagnetic waves are important both in concepts and applications. In this work, we systematically discuss two types of angular momenta, i.e., spin angular m…
A brief review of topological photonics in one, two, and three dimensions
Zhihao Lan, Menglin L. N. Chen, Fei Gao +2
Topological photonics has attracted increasing attention in recent years due to the unique opportunities it provides to manipulate light in a robust way immune to disorder and defe…
Local orbital-angular-momentum dependent surface states with topological protection
Menglin L. N. Chen, Li Jun Jiang, Zhihao Lan +1
Chiral surface states along the zigzag edge of a valley photonic crystal in the honeycomb lattice are demonstrated. By decomposing the local fields into orbital angular momentum (O…
First-principle calculation of Chern number in gyrotropic photonic crystals
Ran Zhao, Guo-Da Xie, Menglin L. N. Chen +3
As an important figure of merit for characterizing the quantized collective behaviors of the wavefunction, Chern number is the topological invariant of quantum Hall insulators. Che…
Pseudospin-Polarized Topological Line Defects in Dielectric Photonic Crystals
Menglin L. N. Chen, Li Jun Jiang, Zhihao Lan +1
Electromagnetic topological insulators have been explored extensively due to the robust edge states they support. In this work, we propose a topological electromagnetic system base…
