Abstract

We theoretically propose and experimentally realize a new configuration of a photonic Chern topological insulator (PCTI) composed of a two-dimensional square-hexagon lattice gyromagnetic photonic crystal immersed in an external magnetic field. This PCTI possesses five distinct types of edges and all of them allowed the propagation of truly one-way edge states. We proceeded to utilize this special PCTI to design topological transmission lines of various configurations with sharp turns. Although the wave impedances of the edge states on both sides of the intersections in these transmission lines were very different, definitely no back reflection occurred and no mode-mixing problems and impedance-mismatching issues at the intersections were present, leading to topological resistance-free one-way transport in the whole transmission line network. Our results enrich the geometric and physical means and infrastructure to construct one-way transport and bring about novel platforms for developing topology-driven resistance-free photonic devices.
