摘要:

超材料是一种由亚波长单胞组成的人工工程材料,以其优异的光学性能在光操控领域显示出巨大的潜力。特别是,具有拓扑保护表面状态的拓扑超材料能够实现对光的极其鲁棒的控制。在这里,我们展示了双螺旋结构的光子拓扑超材料中的极端宽带拓扑相位。特别是拓扑表面状态观察到的所有频率低于一定的截止,起源于一个双外尔点在零频率。光子拓扑超材料的极端带宽和鲁棒性对于诸如单向波导和光子集成系统的实际应用是有益的,但在设计和制造中也是有利的,因为唯一的必要条件是满足有效的双曲和手征性质,而不需要严格的周期性排列。

英文摘要:

Metamaterials, artificially engineered materials consisting of subwavelength unit cell, have shown potentials in light manipulation with their extraordinary optical properties. Especially, topological metamaterials possessing topologically protected surface states enable extremely robust control of light. Here, we demonstrate extremely broadband topological phase in a photonic topological metamaterials with double helix structure. In particular topological surface states are observed for all the frequencies below a certain cut-off, originating from a double Weyl point at zero frequency. The extreme bandwidth and robustness of the photonic topological metamaterial are beneficial for practical applications such as one-way waveguide and photonic integrated systems but also advantageous in design and fabrication since the only necessary condition is to satisfy the effective hyperbolic and chiral properties, without entailing strict periodic arrangement.
