Pseudo-spin–valley coupled edge states in a photonic topological insulator
Valleys in the photonic band structure provide an additional degree of freedom to engineer topological photonic structures and devices. Here, Kang et al. demonstrate that inter-valley scattering is inhibited at a Y-junction between three sections with different valley topology.
