Topological Modes in One Dimensional Solids and Photonic Crystals
Abstract
It is shown theoretically that a one-dimensional crystal with time reversal symmetry is characterized by a Z2 topological invariant that predicts the existence or otherwise of edge states. This is confirmed experimentally through the construction and simulation of a photonic crystal analogue in the microwave regime.
