Experimental observation of anomalous topological edge modes in a slowly driven photonic lattice

A periodically driven system may show a novel type of topologically protected edge modes that has no static analogue. Here, Mukherjeeet al. report the observation of such anomalous chiral edge modes in an ultrafast-laser-inscribed slowly-driven photonic lattice.
