On the Cover for this virtual special issue

Topological photonics opens a new avenue to understand varieties of exotic and novel photonic phenomena, and it is expected to boost a series of key applications of photonics and optoelectronic in many aspects. See Xuefan Yin et al., page 11000B25.

Topological photonic crystal of large valley Chern numbers
Xiang Xi... Kang-Ping Ye and Rui-Xin Wu|Show fewer author(s)

The recent realizations of a topological valley phase in a photonic crystal, an analog of gapped valleytronic materials in an electronic system, are limited to the valley Chern number of one. In this paper, we present a type of va

Creating locally interacting Hamiltonians in the synthetic frequency dimension for photons
Luqi Yuan... Avik Dutt, Mingpu Qin, Shanhui Fan and Xianfeng Chen|Show fewer author(s)

The recent emerging field of synthetic dimension in photonics offers a variety of opportunities for manipulating different internal degrees of freedom of photons such as the spectrum of light. While nonlinear optical effects can b

Disorder-protected quantum state transmission through helical coupled-resonator waveguides
JungYun Han... Andrey A. Sukhorukov and Daniel Leykam|Show fewer author(s)

We predict the preservation of temporal indistinguishability of photons propagating through helical coupled-resonator optical waveguides (H-CROWs). H-CROWs exhibit a pseudospin-momentum locked dispersion, which we show suppresses

Manipulating light radiation from a topological perspective
Xuefan Yin, and Chao Peng

Manipulating radiation is important for a variety of optoelectronic applications, such as on-chip lasers, energy-efficient grating couplers, and antennas for light detection and ranging. Although designing and optimizing those opt

Topologically protected long-range coherent energy transfer
Yujing Wang... Jun Ren, Weixuan Zhang, Lu He and Xiangdong Zhang|Show fewer author(s)

The realization of robust coherent energy transfer with a long range from a donor to an acceptor has many important applications in the field of quantum optics. However, it is hard to be realized using conventional schemes. Here,

Weak-value amplification for the optical signature of topological phase transitions
Weijie Wu... Shizhen Chen, Wenhao Xu, Zhenxing Liu, Runnan Lou, Lihua Shen, Hailu Luo, Shuangchun Wen and Xiaobo Yin|Show fewer author(s)

We show that weak measurements can be used to measure the tiny signature of topological phase transitions. The signature is an in-plane photonic spin Hall effect, which can be described as a consequence of a Berry phase. It is als
