Abstract

Coherent manipulation of photonic interface states requires a control field that matches their internal mode structure. We study this requirement in a two-component Kagome lattice motivated by photon-mediated exchange near a nonlinear nonlocal metasurface. The Dirac spinors show why uniform Raman control cannot couple opposite-spin, same-valley interface modes at leading order, even when their spatial envelopes coincide. A 1:1:-2 sublattice pattern removes this cancellation and maximizes the projected coupling at fixed root-mean-square amplitude within the diagonal-control class. We test this control scheme through full-zone topology and complete lattice propagation. For a smooth, gapped interface, a 720-dimensional calculation gives target-mode fidelity 0.999937 with leakage 6.27×10-5 at RMS drive 0.04t. Trace-preserving dynamics gives the separate survival condition needed for successful conversion. An exploratory three-dimensional lithium-niobate supercell reproduces the complex addressing pattern with 0.373\% relative error and provides nonlocal exchange, decay and electro-optic frequency-conversion matrices. The mode-resolved control principle thus gives quantitative electromagnetic design targets; the full spin-dependent device realization still requires further calibration.
