Floquet Defect Mode Resonance and its Applications in Nonlinear, Quantum and Active Topological Silicon Photonics
DownloadSpring 2024
Topological photonic insulators are photonic quantum metamaterials whose transmission bands and bandgaps are characterized by certain topological invariants, which remain unchanged in the presence of lattice disorders. This resistance to defects has been exploited to realize integrated photonic...
