Photonic structures with topologically nontrivial bands are usually designed by arranging simple meta-atoms, ideally, single-mode ones, in a carefully designed photonic lattice with symmetry that guarantees the emergence of topological…
We theoretically study the dynamics and spatio-temporal pattern formation of driven lattices of nonlinear optical microresonators and analyze the formation of dissipative structures, in particular dissipative Kerr solitons. We consider both…
Symmetry-protected topological phases of matter, characterized by non-trivial band topology, are spectrally gapped and show non-trivial boundary phenomena. Here, we show that scattering states when interjected by an array of periodically…
A potential weakness of topological waveguides is that they act on a fixed narrow band of frequencies. However, by 3D printing samples from a photo-responsive polymer, we can obtain a device whose operating frequency can be fine-tuned…
We study the topological physics in nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger systems on lattices. We employ the quench dynamics to explore the phase diagram, where a pulse is given to a lattice point and we analyze its time evolution. There are two system…
Band topology has emerged as a novel tool for material design across various domains, including photonic and phononic systems, and metamaterials. A prominent model for band topology is the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) chain, which reveals…
Topological photonics has emerged recently as a novel approach for realizing robust optical circuitry, and the study of nonlinear effects in topological photonics is expected to open the door for tunability of photonic structures with…
Cavity materials are a frontier to investigate the role of light-matter interactions on the properties of electronic phases of matter. In this work, we raise a fundamental question: can non-local interactions mediated by cavity photons…
Topological models are characterized by a quantized topological invariant and provide a description of novel phases of matter that can exhibit localized edge states, corner modes, and chiral transport. We experimentally realize two 1-D…
Working in the context of the Su-Schreiffer-Heeger (SSH) model, the effect of topological transitions on the structure and properties of bulk position-space wavefunctions is studied for a particle undergoing a quantum walk in a…
We experimentally demonstrate the formation and stable propagation of various types of discrete temporal solitons in an optical fiber system. Pulses interacting with a time-periodic potential and defocusing nonlinearity are shown to form…
We address the impact of asymmetric nonlocal diffusion nonlinearity on the properties of gap solitons supported by photorefractive crystal with an imprinted optical lattice. We reveal how the asymmetric nonlocal response alters the domains…
We theoretically investigate a Thouless pumping scheme in the 1D topological Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model for single and multiple band-gaps systems when implemented in a discrete nematic liquid crystal arrangement. For an electrically…
The investigation of topological state transition in carefully designed photonic lattices is of high interest for fundamental research, as well as for applied studies such as manipulating light flow in on-chip photonic systems. Here, we…
Two-dimensional (2D) model of a weak topological insulator with $N$-stacked Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) chain is studied. This study starts with a basic model with all the fundamental symmetries (chiral, time-reversal, and particle-hole)…
Nonlinearities in lattices with topologically nontrivial band structures can give rise to topological solitons, whose properties differ from both conventional lattice solitons and linear topological boundary states. We show that a…
Nonlinear transmission lines (NLTLs) are nonlinear electronic circuits commonly used for parametric amplification and pulse generation. It has previously been shown that harmonic generation can be enhanced, and shock waves suppressed, in…
The propagation of linear and nonlinear edge modes in bounded photonic honeycomb lattices formed by an array of rapidly varying helical waveguides is studied. These edge modes are found to exhibit strong transmission (reflection) around…
With a seminal work of Raghu and Haldane in 2008, concepts of topology have been successfully introduced in a wide range of optical systems, emulating specific lattice Hamiltonians. Certainly, one of the most promising routes to an…
Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model is one of the simplest models to show topological end/edge states and the existence of Majorana fermions. Here we consider a SSH like model both in one and two dimensions where a nearest neighbor hopping…
