Equal Power Splitting in a Rotationally Symmetric Valley Photonic Junction

Topological valley photonic crystal based waveguides have shown to provide scattering resistance from lattice defects and sharp bends while maintaining a small footprint in photonics. In this work we present our latest efforts in designing a rotationally symmetric 6-port junction utilising topological valley mode waveguides that exhibits equal power spitting when excited at one port to ports 2,4 and 6. To do this, a scattering matrix is carefully extracted to analytically represent the structure, showing its potential in the design of topological structures for elementary computing processes.

Abstract

Topological valley photonic crystal based waveguides have shown to provide scattering resistance from lattice defects and sharp bends while maintaining a small footprint in photonics. In this work we present our latest efforts in designing a rotationally symmetric 6-port junction utilising topological valley mode waveguides that exhibits equal power spitting when excited at one port to ports 2,4 and 6. To do this, a scattering matrix is carefully extracted to analytically represent the structure, showing its potential in the design of topological structures for elementary computing processes.
