Abstract

The invention provides a photonic crystal structure with a complex unit cell and an optical waveguide. The complex unit cell is formed by arranging six subcells according to a C6 structure, and the section of the complex unit cell is of a regular hexagon structure. The multiple complex unit cells are adjacent in edge-to-edge mode and are arranged in an array mode to form the photonic crystal structure. According to the invention, energy band inversion and topological phase change are realized through three different modes, i.e., compression and stretching of unit cells, change of section diameters of dielectric cylinders and rotation of sub-cells, so that a topological trivialness to topological non-trivialness crystal structure is constructed. An optical waveguide constructed by the crystal structure is larger in photonic band gap and high in photon localization performance, electromagnetic waves in the working bandwidth can be transmitted in a one-way mode along topological common and non-common interfaces, the optical localization is enhanced, backscattering is restrained, and the crystal structure has high immunity to sharp turns and defects.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of topological photonic crystals, in particular to a photonic crystal structure and an optical waveguide with complex unit cells. Background technique [0002] Due to the discovery of the optical integer quantum Hall effect and the quantum spin Hall effect in condensed matter physics, a new research direction, optical topological insulators, has been opened. Furthermore, a scheme to realize topological state is proposed. In optical systems, topological photonic crystal research has strong application prospects, especially the properties of unidirectional transmission and defect immunity of topological states, which can be used in topological photonic devices such as differentiators, hubs, and optical isolators. [0003] The optical quantum spin Hall effect is based on pairwise topological boundary states protected by time-reversal symmetry, and the key is to achieve Kramers degeneracy. However, photons do not have s...
