Composite photonic lattice with a broad channel to sustain topological interface states
Abstract:
In the field of topological photonics, one goal is to seek specialized structures with topological protection that can support the stable propagation of light. We have designed a topological configuration featuring a broad channel to sustain edge or interface states. The topological properties are elucidated by analyzing the energy spectrum, eigenstates, and winding numbers. Furthermore, the propagation characteristics of light within our structure are examined through the computation of intensities derived from the coupled mode equations. Our findings reveal that the structure is capable of confining light to the central region, facilitating stable and robust propagation for large-sized beams. Additionally, simulations conducted using commercial software have substantiated the theoretical analysis. Our finding may have significant implications for the modulation of structured light and the development of photonic devices with wide channel capabilities.
