Recent years have witnessed a flurry of research activities in topological photonics,
predominantly driven by the prospect for topological protection–a property that endows such …

From biological ecosystems to spin glasses, connectivity plays a crucial role in determining
the function, dynamics, and resiliency of a network. In the realm of non-Hermitian physics …

Silicon Photonics, the technology where optical devices are fabricated by the mainstream
microelectronic processing technology, was proposed almost 30 years ago. I joined this …

The ability to tailor the hop** interactions between the constituent elements of a physical
system could enable the observation of unusual phenomena that are otherwise inaccessible …

The presence of long-range interactions is crucial in distinguishing between abstract
complex networks and wave systems. In photonics, because electromagnetic interactions …

We develop a general formalism to study laser operation in active microring resonators
supporting two counterpropagating modes. Our formalism is based on the coupled-mode …

The reflectionless coherent light transport in the coupled resonator array is investigated in
the presence of intra-resonator intermodal coupling between the clockwise and …

Bound states in the continuum (BICs) defy the conventional wisdom that assumes a spectral
separation between propagating waves, that carry energy away, and spatially localized …

Non-Hermitian physics has found a fertile ground in optics. Recently, the study of mode
coalescence, ie, exceptional points, has led to the discovery of intriguing and …

Inspired by the idea of non-Hermitian spectral engineering and non-Hermitian skin effect, a
novel, to the best of our knowledge, design for stable emission of coupled laser arrays with …
