Crystal-symmetry-protected photonic topological edge states (PTESs) based on air rods in conventional dielectric materials are designed as photonic topological waveguides (PTWs) coupled with side optical cavities. We demonstrate that the cavity coupled with the PTW can change the reflection-free transport of the PTESs, where the cavities with single mode and twofold degenerate modes are taken as examples. The single-mode cavities are able to perfectly reflect the PTESs at their resonant frequencies, forming a dip in the transmission spectra. The dip full width at half depth depends on the coupling strength between the cavity and PTW and thus on the cavity geometry and distance relative to the PTW. While the cavities with twofold degenerate modes lead to a more complex PTES transport whose transmission spectra can be in the Fano form. These effects well agree with the one-dimensional PTW-cavity transport theory we build, in which the coupling of the PTW with cavity is taken as $delta$ or non-$delta$ type. Such PTWs coupled with side cavities, combining topological properties and convenient tunability, have wide diversities for topological photonic devices.

We experimentally demonstrate topological edge states arising from the valley-Hall effect in twodimensional honeycomb photonic lattices with broken inversion symmetry. We break inversion symmetry by detuning the refractive indices of the two honeycom
b sublattices, giving rise to a boron nitride-like band structure. The edge states therefore exist along the domain walls between regions of opposite valley Chern numbers. We probe both the armchair and zig-zag domain walls and show that the former become gapped for any detuning, whereas the latter remain ungapped until a cutoff is reached. The valley-Hall effect provides a new mechanism for the realization of time-reversal invariant photonic topological insulators.
We investigate Rabi-like oscillations of topological valley Hall edge states by introducing two zigzag domain walls in an inversion-symmetry-breaking honeycomb photonic lattice. Such resonant oscillations are stimulated by weak periodic modulation of
the lattice depth along the propagation direction that does not affect the overall symmetry and the band topology of the lattice. Oscillations are accompanied by periodic switching between edge states with the same Bloch momentum, but located at different domain walls. Switching period and efficiency are the nonmonotonic functions of the Bloch momentum in the Brillouin zone. We discuss how efficiency of this resonant process depends on detuning of modulation frequency from resonant value. Switching of nonlinear edge states is also briefly discussed. Our work brings about an effective approach to accomplish resonant oscillations of the valley Hall edge states in time-reversal-invariant topological insulators.
We demonstrate a method to locally change the refractive index in planar optical devices by photodarkening of a thin chalcogenide glass layer deposited on top of the device. The method is used to tune the resonance of GaAs-based photonic crystal cavi
ties by up to 3 nm at 940 nm, with only 5% deterioration in cavity quality factor. The method has broad applications for postproduction tuning of photonic devices.
We present a method to control the resonant coupling interaction in a coupled-cavity photonic crystal molecule by using a local and reversible photochromic tuning technique. We demonstrate the ability to tune both a two-cavity and a three-cavity phot
onic crystal molecule through the resonance condition by selectively tuning the individual cavities. Using this technique, we can quantitatively determine important parameters of the coupled-cavity system such as the photon tunneling rate. This method can be scaled to photonic crystal molecules with larger numbers of cavities, which provides a versatile method for studying strong interactions in coupled resonator arrays.
Generating and manipulating Dirac points in artificial atomic crystals has received attention especially in photonic systems due to their ease of implementation. In this paper, we propose a two-dimensional photonic crystal made of a Kekule lattice of
pure dielectrics, where the internal rotation of cylindrical pillars induces optical Dirac-degeneracy breaking. Our calculated dispersion reveals that the synchronized rotation reverses bands and switches parity as well so as to induce a topological phase transition. Our simulation demonstrates that such topologically protected edge states can achieve robust transmission in defect waveguides under deformation, and therefore provides a pragmatically tunable scheme to achieve reconfigurable topological phases.
