Experimental demonstration of single-mode topological valley-Hall lasing at telecommunication wavelength controlled by the degree of asymmetry.
TLDR
By controlling the degree of asymmetry (DoA) in a photonic crystal with broken inversion symmetry, single-mode lasing of valley-Hall ring cavities at telecommunication wavelength is reported, opening the door to novel optoelectronic devices and systems based on compact topological integrated circuits.
Edge-Mode Lasing in 1D Topological Active Arrays.
TLDR
The experimental and theoretical results demonstrate that, in the presence of chiral-time symmetry, this non-Hermitian topological structure can experience phase transitions that are dictated by a complex geometric phase.
Topologically protected midgap states in complex photonic lattices.
TLDR
The formation of topologically protected localized midgap states in systems with spatially distributed gain and loss can be selectively amplified, which finds applications in the beam dynamics along a photonic lattice and in the lasing of quasi-one-dimensional photonic crystals.
Room-temperature lasing from nanophotonic topological cavities.
TLDR
This work proposes and demonstrates experimentally active nanophotonic topological cavities incorporating III-V semiconductor quantum wells as a gain medium in the structure and observes room-temperature lasing with a narrow spectrum, high coherence, and threshold behaviour.
Third-Harmonic Generation in Photonic Topological Metasurfaces.
TLDR
Topology-driven tunable localization of the generated harmonic fields are demonstrated and the pseudospin-dependent unidirectional waveguiding of the edge states bypassing sharp corners are mapped.

Photonic crystals built with time-reversal-symmetry-breaking Faraday-effect media can exhibit chiral edge modes that propagate unidirectionally along boundaries across which the Faraday axis…

Direct Observation of Corner States in Second-Order Topological Photonic Crystal Slabs.
TLDR
Using near-field scanning measurements, this work shows the direct observation of corner states in second-order topological photonic crystal slabs consisting of periodic dielectric rods on a perfect electric conductor and demonstrates the topological transition of two-dimensional Zak phases of photonic crystals by tuning intracell distances between two neighboring rods.
