This letter is devoted to point out a specific character of the Finite-Difference-Time-Domain method through the study of nano-structures supporting geometrical symmetry-protected modes that can not be excited at certain conditions of illumination. The spatial discretization performed in the FDTD algorithm naturally leads to break this symmetry and allows the excitation of these modes. The quality factor of the corresponding resonances are then directly linked to the degree of the symmetry breaking i.e. the spatial grid dimension even though the convergence criteria of the FDTD are fulfilled. This finding shows that the FDTD must be handled with a great care and, more importantly, that very huge quality-factor resonances could be achieved at the cost of nanometer-scale mastered fabrication processes.

High-order topological phases, such as those with nontrivial quadrupole moments, protect edge states that are themselves topological insulators in lower dimensions. So far, most quadrupole phases of light are explored in linear optical systems, which
are protected by spatial symmetries or synthetic symmetries. Here we present Floquet quadrupole phases in driven nonlinear photonic crystals (PhCs) that are protected by space-time screw symmetries. We start by illustrating space-time symmetries by tracking the trajectory of instantaneous optical axes of the driven media. Our Floquet quadrupole phase is then confirmed in two independent ways: symmetry indices at high-symmetry momentum points and calculations of the nested Wannier bands. Our work presents a general framework to analyze symmetries in driven optical materials and paves the way to further exploring symmetry-protected topological phases in Floquet systems and their optoelectronic applications.
In this work, we present a numerical method that remedies the instabilities of the conventional FDTD approach for solving Maxwells equations in a space-time dependent magneto-electric medium with direct application to the simulation of the recently p
roposed spacetime cloak. We utilize a dual grid FDTD method overlapped to the time domain to provide a stable approach for the simulation of magneto-electric medium with time and space varying permittivity, permeability and coupling coefficient. The developed method can be applied to explore other new physical possibilities offered by spacetime cloaking, metamaterials, and transformation optics.
Chiral spin textures are researched widely in condensed matter systems and show potential for spintronics and storage applications. Along with extensive condensed-matter studies of chiral spin textures, photonic counterparts of these textures have be
en observed in various optical systems with broken inversion symmetry. Unfortunately, the resemblances are only phenomenological. This work proposes a theoretical framework based on the variational theorem to show that the formation of photonic chiral spin textures in an optical interface is derived from the systems symmetry and relativity. Analysis of the optical systems rotational symmetry indicates that conservation of the total angular momentum is preserved from the local variations of spin vectors. Specifically, although the integral spin momentum does not carry net energy, the local spin momentum distribution, which determines the local subluminal energy transport and minimization variation of the square of total angular momentum, results in the chiral twisting of the spin vectors. The findings here deepen the understanding of the symmetries, conservative laws and energy transportation in optical system, construct the comparability in the formation mechanisms and geometries of photonic and condensed-matter chiral spin textures, and suggest applications to optical manipulation and chiral photonics.
We propose a concept of chiral photonic limiters utilising topologically protected localised midgap defect states in a photonic waveguide. The chiral symmetry alleviates the effects of structural imperfections and guaranties a high level of resonant
transmission for low intensity radiation. At high intensity, the light-induced absorption can suppress the localised modes, along with the resonant transmission. In this case the entire photonic structure becomes highly reflective within a broad frequency range, thus increasing dramatically the damage threshold of the limiter. Here we demonstrate experimentally the principle of operation of such photonic structures using a waveguide consisting of coupled dielectric microwave resonators.
Entangled multiphoton states lie at the heart of quantum information, computing, and communications. In recent years, topology has risen as a new avenue to robustly transport quantum states in the presence of fabrication defects, disorder and other n
oise sources. Whereas topological protection of single photons and correlated photons has been recently demonstrated experimentally, the observation of topologically protected entangled states has thus far remained elusive. Here, we experimentally demonstrate the topological protection of spatially-entangled biphoton states. We observe robustness in crucial features of the topological biphoton correlation map in the presence of deliberately introduced disorder in the silicon nanophotonic structure, in contrast with the lack of robustness in nontopological structures. The topological protection is shown to ensure the coherent propagation of the entangled topological modes, which may lead to robust propagation of quantum information in disordered systems.
