Experimental demonstration of non-adjacent band topology connecting multiple nodal links (2210.15880v1)

Published 28 Oct 2022 in physics.optics

Abstract: Nodal links are special configurations of band degeneracies in the momentum space, where nodal line branches encircle each other. In PT symmetric systems, nodal lines can be topologically characterized using the eigenvector frame rotations along an encircling loop and the linking structure can be described with non-Abelian frame charges interacting among adjacent bands. In this paper, we present a photonic multiple nodal links system, where non-adjacent band topology is proposed to characterize the hidden relation between nodal lines from non-adjacent band pairs. Through an orthogonal nodal chain, the nodal line from the lower two bands predicts the existence of nodal lines formed between the higher bands. We designed and fabricated a metamaterial, with which the multiple nodal links and non-adjacent band topology are experimentally demonstrated.
