  • 拓扑光子学的提出与发展为从根本物理原理上解决传统光学器件易受干扰的问题提供了新思路, 基于拓扑保护的新型鲁棒光场调控极大地提高了光学器件的传输效率和稳健性. 其中, 基于时间反演对称性破缺的非互易拓扑光子学及其手性拓扑态是拓扑光子学的重要分支, 其拓扑特性由非零陈数或陈矢量表征, 表现出超越互易拓扑光子学的严格拓扑保护鲁棒性. 本综述将重点介绍非互易拓扑光子学在探索新奇物理现象(手性/反手性边界态、反常非互易拓扑边界态、三维光学陈绝缘体、磁性外尔光子晶体等)和构建非互易鲁棒拓扑光学器件(单向光波导、宽带慢光延迟线、任意形状拓扑激光器、大轨道角动量相干光源等)等方面取得的显著成果. 最后对非互易拓扑光子学的发展现状、潜在挑战以及可能取得的突破进行了展望.

     

    The proposal and development of topological photonics have provided a new approach to fundamentally addressing the susceptibility of traditional photonic devices to defects or disorders, significantly enhancing the transmission efficiency and robustness of photonic devices. Among them, non-reciprocal topological photonics which break time-reversal symmetry and support chiral topological states are crucial branches of topological photonics. Their topological properties are characterized by non-zero Chern numbers in two dimensions or topological Chern vectors in three dimensions, exhibiting a rigorous and complete topological protection beyond that of reciprocal topological photonics. This review focuses on introducing the remarkable achievements of non-reciprocal topological photonics in exploring novel physical phenomena (chiral/antichiral edge/surface states, two-dimensional/three-dimensional photonic Chern insulators, magnetic Weyl photonics crystals, etc.) and constructing non-reciprocal robust topological photonic devices (unidirectional waveguides, broadband slow-light delay lines, arbitrarily shaped topological lasers, high-orbital-angular-momentum coherent light sources, etc.). Finally, the present status, potential challenges, and possible breakthroughs in the development of non-reciprocal topological photonics are discussed.
