Reconfigurable topological wave routing based on tunable valley kink states and valley-polarized chiral edge states.

Valley kink states and valley-polarized chiral edge states, whose topologically protected one-way propagation property provides a promising solution for manipulating light waves, have recently attracted considerable attention in topological photonics. However, it remains a great challenge to realize flexibly tunable dispersion for two different topological states and to develop a dynamically controllable topological photonic platform for switching topological wave routing. In this work, we propose a reconfigurable topological wave routing structure in the telecommunication frequency range, where phase-change material SbS cylinders with tunable refractive index are embedded into each topological channel to dynamically tune the dispersion of topological edge states.
