Abstract

Optical loss usually leads to dissipation, but has been shown, counterintuitively, to create strong light localization. This demonstration — realized by implementing a photonic arrangement with a special topology in a programmable integrated photonic platform — highlights loss as a powerful control of the topological properties of electromagnetic modes.

光损耗的调制导致光的鲁棒定位

光损耗通常会导致耗散，但与直觉相反，它已被证明会产生强光局部化。该演示通过在可编程集成光子平台中实现具有特殊拓扑结构的光子排列来实现，突出了损耗作为电磁模式拓扑特性的强大控制。

期刊介绍： Nature Materials is a monthly multi-disciplinary journal aimed at bringing together cutting-edge research across the entire spectrum of materials science and engineering. It covers all applied and fundamental aspects of the synthesis/processing, structure/composition, properties, and performance of materials. The journal recognizes that materials research has an increasing impact on classical disciplines such as physics, chemistry, and biology. Additionally, Nature Materials provides a forum for the development of a common identity among materials scientists and encourages interdisciplinary collaboration. It takes an integrated and balanced approach to all areas of materials research, fostering the exchange of ideas between scientists involved in different disciplines. Nature Materials is an invaluable resource for scientists in academia and industry who are active in discovering and developing materials and materials-related concepts. It offers engaging and informative papers of exceptional significance and quality, with the aim of influencing the development of society in the future.
