We constructed a two-dimensional photonic crystal with a special structure and realized a topological phase transition by manipulating the rotation of its rod elements. Helical edge states were constructed along the interface. Numerical results and simulations demonstrated the topological protection and robustness of the system.
We construct a kind of two-dimensional photonic crystal with triangular lattice in which the primitive cell contains six identical rods composed of two half cylinders with different dielectric materials. All the rods have the same rotations around themselves, ensuring that the system preserves the C6 symmetry. The pseudospin topological phase transition (TPT) of the system is realized by rotating the rod elements, and the helical edge states (HESs) are constructed along the interface between two photonic crystals with opposite rotations. Numerical results and simulations reveal that the HESs are topologically protected with the pseudospin-locked unidirectional propagation of electromagnetic waves with robustness against corners and defects along the interface. Adjusting the size of rod elements, the TPT can be engineered at needed frequency.
