Holographic fabrication of octagon graded photonic supercrystal and potential applications in topological photonics

Frontiers of Optoelectronics volume 13, pages 12–17 (2020)Cite this article

Abstract

Novel optical properties in graded photonic super-crystals can be further explored if new types of graded photonic super-crystals are fabricated. In this paper, we report holographic fabrication of graded photonic super-crystal with eight graded lattice clusters surrounding the central non-gradient lattices through pixel-by-pixel phase engineering in a spatial light modulator. The prospect of applications of octagon graded photonic super-crystal in topological photonics is discussed through photonic band gap engineering and coupled ring resonators.
