Comment on Comment on Spin-Momentum-Locked Edge Mode for Topological Vortex Lasing, Phys. Rev. Lett. vol. 125, 013903 (2020)


Abstract in English

In our Letter (Phys. Rev. Lett. vol. 125, 013903 (2020)), we reported topological vortex lasers based on spin-momentum-locked edge modes. We observed that the near field spin and orbital angular momentum has a one-to-one far-field radiation correspondence of circular polarization and orbital angular momentum respectively. Sun et al. in their Comment (arXiv:2009.04700v1), however, argued that we did not perform numerical simulations on the near field information of our experimentally studied topological edge modes, and our mode assignment was mistaken and spoiled the one-to-one correspondence. However, we will show that their arguments are wrong. Furthermore, we will show that the Eqs. (1) and (2) and the phase windings in their Comment are wrong.
