Nonlinear topological photonic and phononic systems have recently aroused intense interests in exploring new phenomena that have no counterparts in electronic systems. The squeezed bosonic interaction in these systems is particularly interesting, because it can modify the vacuum fluctuations of topological states, drive them into instabilities, and lead to topological parametric lasers. However, these phenomena remain experimentally elusive because of limited nonlinearities in most existing topological bosonic systems. Here, we experimentally realized topological parametric lasers based on nonlinear nanoelectromechanical Dirac-vortex cavities with strong squeezed interaction. Specifically, we parametrically drove the Dirac-vortex cavities to provide phase-sensitive amplification for topological phonons, and observed phonon lasing above the threshold. Additionally, we confirmed that the lasing frequency is robust against fabrication disorders and that the free spectral range defies the universal inverse scaling law with increased cavity size, which benefit the realization of large-area single-mode lasers. Our results represent an important advance in experimental investigations of topological physics with large bosonic nonlinearities and parametric gain.
The missing piece in the jigsaw of silicon photonics is a light source that can be easily incorporated into the standard silicon fabrication process. Recent advances in the development of atomically thin layers of semiconducting transition metal dich
Acoustic vibrations at the nanoscale (GHz-THz frequencies) and their interactions with electrons, photons and other excitations are the heart of an emerging field in physics: nanophononics. The design of ultrahigh frequency acoustic-phonon transducer
A driven-dissipative nonlinear photonic system (e.g. exciton-polaritons) can operate in a gapped superfluid regime. We theoretically demonstrate that the reflection of a linear wave on this superfluid is an analogue of the Andreev reflection of an el
It has recently been indicated that the hexagonal manganites exhibit Higgs- and Goldstone-like phonon modes that modulate the amplitude and phase of their primary order parameter. Here, we describe a mechanism by which a silent Goldstone-like phonon
