Nonlinear Topological Metamaterials

Abstract

During this three-year effort, we have made significant progress on the theoretical understanding, numerical modeling and experimental realization and characterization of nonlinear topological metamaterials, with a focus on nanophotonics, and encompassing topological phenomena in reciprocal space (in the band diagrams of periodic metamaterials), in real space and in synthetic space (in the space of parameters controlling a given system). Our results have been featured in several publications, including 39 journal papers, 1 book chapter, 51 conference abstracts and presentations, and several other seminars and tutorials. The high-profile results stemming from this research project have been published in high-profile journals, including in Science, Nature, Nature family journals and other high-impact, highly selective scientific journals. Our papers have been featured on various journal covers, selected as Editors Picks, and featured in Press Releases and news coverages. Thanks to this research support, the PI and supported personnel (3 graduate students and 2 postdocs) have received several honors, awards and recognitions. One graduate student supported by this funding will complete his studies this summer and is considering various options for his future career in academia and industry.
