Uncovering the Mysteries of Anomalous Floquet Topological States in Fractal Photonic Systems
This blog post will focus on a new and exciting development in the field of physics: the discovery of an anomalous Floquet topological insulator. Researchers from the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (IST Austria) have identified a fractal photonic structure with properties that could lead to unprecedented control of light waves. This structure is a so-called Floquet topological insulator, and it works by periodically modulating the photonic crystal lattice. By doing so, it creates an optical bandgap that is capable of trapping and guiding light waves in a fractional pattern. This new discovery could lead to breakthroughs in the field of photonics, allowing for unprecedented control over light waves and their potential applications.
