Non-spin-mixing defect modes in the split-ring dielectric photonic crystals
Optics Communications(2021)
摘要
Topological photonic crystals (PCs) with unique optical performances have tremendous potential application in the realm of integrated photonic circuits. In this paper, we propose split-ring topological PCs manufactured by conventional silicon material, which hosts both topological transition and helical edge states mimicking the quantum spin Hall effect. A large nontrivial bandgap from 224.85 THz to 235.03 THz can be achieved. Non-spin-mixing defect modes with the nature of topological protection are demonstrated when line defects are introduced by fabricating the sectional columns with Al2O3 at the interface of two different topologies. A guide path for the non-spin-mixing defect modes reveals that light can propagate unidirectionally with high efficiency, powerful optical localization, and strong stability. This work provides a versatile method to improve the performances of optical transmission and reveals a novel mechanism to guide light transmission, which has vast application prospects in the all-optical integrated circuits.
