Nontrivial point-gap topology and non-Hermitian skin effect in photonic crystals
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show that two-dimensional non-Hermitian photonic crystals made of lossy material can exhibit non-trivial point gap topology in terms topological winding its complex frequency band structure. Such be either isotropic media which is reciprocal, or magneto-optical non-reciprocal. discuss the effects reciprocity on properties topology. also such a leads to skin effect when crystal truncated. In contrast most previous studies used tight-binding models, our work indicates studied crystals, represent more realistic system has technological significance.

Gap solitons in spatiotemporal photonic crystals
We generalize the concept of nonlinear periodic structures to systems that show arbitrary spacetime variations of the refractive index. Nonlinear pulse propagation through these spatiotemporal photonic crystals can be described, for shallow nonstationary gratings, by coupled mode equations which are a generalization of the traditional equations used for stationary photonic crystals. Novel gap s...
متن کاملMultifrequency gap solitons in nonlinear photonic crystals.
We predict the existence of multifrequency gap solitons (MFGSs) in both one- and two-dimensional nonlinear photonic crystals. A MFGS is a single intrinsic mode possessing multiple frequencies inside the gap. Its existence is a result of synergic nonlinear coupling among solitons or soliton trains at different frequencies. Its formation can either lower the threshold fields of the respective fre...
متن کاملLithographic band gap tuning in photonic band gap crystals
We describe the lithographic control over the spectral response of three-dimensional photonic crystals. By precise microfabrication of the geometry using a reproducible and reliable procedure consisting of electron beam lithography followed by dry etching, we have shifted the conduction band of crystals within the near-infrared. Such microfabrication has enabled us to reproducibly define photon...
متن کاملWeak photonic band gap effect on the fluorescence lifetime in three-dimensional colloidal photonic crystals
The photonic band gap ~PBG! effect on the fluorescence lifetime of molecules in three–dimensional colloidal photonic crystals is studied theoretically by means of a full vectorial quantum electrodynamics. In these colloidal systems where the refractive index contrast is as low as below 1.2, the PBG-induced lifetime variation is found to be below 5%. Our theoretical simulations can help to disti...
متن کاملFabrication of photonic band-gap crystals
We describe the fabrication of three-dimensional photonic crystals using a reproducible and reliable procedure consisting of electron beam lithography followed by a sequence of dry etching steps. Careful fabrication has enabled us to define photonic crystals with 280 nm holes defined with 350 nm center to center spacings in GaAsP and GaAs epilayers. We construct these photonic crystals by trans...
