Recent research in topological photonics has not only proposed and realized novel
topological phenomena such as one‐way broadband propagation and robust transport of …

We analyze the robustness of corner modes in topological photonic crystals, taking a C 6-
symmetric breathing honeycomb photonic crystal as an example. First, we employ …

The recent realization of valley physics in photonic systems has enriched the topological
phases of light with protected edge modes and shown applications in designing high …

In this Letter, the higher-order topological state (HOTS) and its mechanism in two-
dimensional Stampfli-Triangle (2D ST) photonic crystals (PhCs) is explored. The topological …

Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) artificial metacrystals host rich topological phases, such as
Weyl points, nodal rings, and 3D photonic topological insulators. These topological states …

We demonstrate that the presence of a localized state at the corner of an insulating domain
is not always a predictor nor a direct consequence of a certain nontrivial higher-order …

Previous studies on the propagation direction of valley topological edge states mainly focus
on the matching between orbital angular momentum of the excitation source and specific …

Optical skyrmions, quasiparticles that are characterized by the topologically nontrivial
vectorial textures of optical parameters such as the electromagnetic field, Stokes …

Photonic topological insulators have recently received widespread attention mainly due to
their ability to provide directions in the development of photonic integration platforms. The …

This paper seeks to progress the field of topological photonic crystals (TPC) as a promising
tool in face of construction flaws. In particular, the structure can be used as a novel …
