Topological Photonic Line Waveguides for High Performance Optoelectronic Devices
Abstract
The primary goal of this program is to develop photonic line waves, or photonic topological insulators that can be made into practical structures for photonic integrated waveguides and devices. The concept of line waves" has been recently developed at microwave frequencies, and these waves have been shown to achieve unidirectional propagation, thereby being highly resistant to backscattering. This can potentially solve the scattering problem that is common to photonic integrated circuits. The goal of this work is to develop existing line wave structures into new versions that are practical for optical frequencies, preferably eliminating the need for metallic components, and then to implement them on a practical photonic platform to demonstrate their capabilities.
