Photonic topological insulator with broken time-reversal symmetry.
A topological insulator is a material with an insulating interior but time-reversal symmetry-protected conducting edge states. Since its prediction and discovery almost a decade ago, such a symmetry-protected topological phase has been explored beyond electronic systems in the realm of photonics. Electrons are spin-1/2 particles, whereas photons are spin-1 particles. The distinct spin differenc...
متن کاملTopological insulator with time-reversal symmetry
It is impossible to have quantum Hall effect without breaking the time-reversal symmetry. xy xy. If we want xy to be invariant under , xy xy, xy must be zero. Q: Can we have other type of topological insulators, in the presence of -symmetry? By saying topological insulator, I mean an insulator with a protected metallic edge. By protected, I mean no matter what we do, we cannot tu...
متن کاملGerbes and time-reversal-invariant topological insulators
Definition. A bundle gerbe G with unitary connection (below, gerbe for short) over manifold M is a triple (Y,B,L) s.t. Y is a manifold equipped with a surjective submersion π : Y →M B is a 2-form on Y L is a line bundle (always with hermitian structure and unitary connection) over Y [2] ≡ Y ×M Y p1 −→ −→ p2 Y with the curvature p2B − p1B L comes with a groupoid multiplication L(y1,y2) × L(y2,y3...
متن کاملBroadband time-reversal of optical pulses using a switchable photonic-crystal mirror.
Recently, Chumak et al. have demonstrated experimentally the time-reversal of microwave spin pulses based on non-adiabatically tuning the wave speed in a spatially-periodic manner [Nat. Comm. 1, 141 (2010)]. Here, we solve the associated wave equations analytically, and give an explicit formula for the reversal efficiency. We discuss the implementation for short optical electromagnetic pulses a...
متن کامل2D Photonic Crystal Resonators with Time- Reversal Broken Symmetry and Nonreciprocal Components on Their Basis
optics. They permit to mitigate the influence of parasitic reflections of electromagnetic signals from non-ideally matched components because the reflected light causes instabilities of lasers and amplifiers. However, the traditional optical isolators and circulators have rather large dimensions, for example, the ferrite isolators based on Faraday effect have the length of several millimeters [...
