Abstract
Topological photonic crystals provide a new platform for designing nanophotonic devices with robustness. Especially, all-optical devices, which use the light controlling light, based on nonlinear topological photonic crystals, have not been reported yet. In this article, we numerically investigate the robust self-manipulation of light flow in silicon topological photonic crystal waveguides based on the Kerr nonlinearity of silicon and topological edge states of photonic crystal waveguides. By adjusting the intensity of incident light at a communication wavelength of 1550 nm, the transmission path of the light flow in waveguides can be effectively controlled, and such manipulation is immune to some disturbances of nanostructures and thus shows the robustness. The results indicate that nonlinear topological photonic crystals have potential applications in on-chip integrated all-optical photonic devices.
