Ultrafast characterization of photonic topological edge modes (Conference Presentation)
Paper Abstract
Through systematically manipulating the couplings in the photonic lattice, the topological nature emerges associated with edge state dynamics. Here, we demonstrate a robust photonic zero mode sustained by a spatial non-Hermitian phase transition in a parity-time (PT) symmetric lattice despite the same topological order across the entire system and a flexible topological photonic lattice with multiple topologically nontrivial dispersion bands. Heterodyne measurements clearly reveal the ultrafast transport dynamics and energy of the edge states at a femtosecond scale, validating the designed topological features.
