In this paper, we use a phoxonic crystal (PxC) which can control the topological states of light and sound by breaking inversion symmetry and thus make it possible to achieve rainbow trapping of light and sound simultaneously. It is shown that topologically protected edge states can be obtained at the interfaces between PxCs with different topological phases. Thus, we designed a gradient structure to realize the topological rainbow trapping of light and sound by linearly modulating the structural parameter. In the proposed gradient structure, the edge states of light and sound modes with different frequencies are respectively trapped at different positions, owing to near zero group velocity. The topological rainbows of light and sound are simultaneously realized in one structure, which open a new, to the best of our knowledge, view and provide a feasible platform for the application of the topological optomechanical devices.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
