Valley pseudospin, a new degree of freedom in photonic lattices, provides an intriguing way to manipulate photons and enhance the robustness of optical networks. Here we experimentally demonstrated topological waveguiding, refracting,…
Valley photonic crystals (VPCs) offer topological kink states that ensure robust, unidirectional, and backscattering-immune light propagation. The design of VPCs is typically based on analogies with condensed-matter topological insulators…
Progress on two-dimensional materials has shown that valleys, as energy extrema in a hexagonal first Brillouin zone, provides a new degree of freedom for information manipulation. Then valley Hall topological insulators supporting…
We demonstrate the coexistence of pseudospin- and valley-Hall-like edge states in a photonic crystal with $C_{3v}$ symmetry, which is composed of three interlacing triangular sublattices with the same lattice constants. By tuning the…

Integrated on-chip photonics increasingly relies on wave propagation that remains stable in the presence of fabrication imperfections, tight bends, and dense routing. Valley photonic crystals (VPCs) offer an attractive path: by opening a…

Topological photonics has been introduced as a powerful platform for integrated optics, since it can deal with robust light transport, and be further extended to the quantum world. Strikingly, valley-contrasting physics in topological…
We create a passive wave splitter, created purely by geometry, to engineer three-way beam splitting in electromagnetism in transverse electric polarisation. We do so by considering arrangements of Indium Phosphide dielectric pillars in air,…

We experimentally demonstrate and characterize a photonic platform containing heterogeneous topological phases. This platform is shown to support valley-spin locked edge states that can be routed based on their spin and valley degrees of…
To date, a number of valley materials have been discovered with the spin-valley or valley-layer couplings. It is highly desirable to realize the interplay of more electronic degrees of freedom in a valley material. Based on the…
Valley-contrast physics has gained considerable attention, particularly for realizing photonic topological insulators (PTIs) that support reflection-free valley-polarized edge modes (VPEMs) in the absence of inter-valley scattering. It is…
In this work, we use valley-topological triangular resonators coupled to an input waveguide to evaluate the quality of the topological protection. To that purpose, we first analyze via numerical simulations the existence of backward…
We demonstrate valley-dependent vortex generation in a photonic graphene. Without breaking the inversion symmetry, excitation of two equivalent valleys leads to formation of an optical vortex upon Bragg-reflection to the third valley, with…
In solid, the crystalline structure can endow electron an internal degree of freedom known as valley, which characterizes the degenerate energy minima in momentum space. The recent success in optical pumping of valley polarization in 2D…
