论文摘要
拓扑光子学试图通过在光子结构中设计受保护的拓扑模式来控制光的行为。尽管这种方法源于研究电子在固态材料中的行为，但此后，它已涌入一个在寻找新物质拓扑类型的最前沿的领域。通过利用拓扑光子学在光子学设备中的应用中，这可以对未来的技术产生真正的影响。该路线图调查了拓扑光子学内一些主要的研究领域，并特别关注基本科学的问题，而光子学是理想的解决方案。每个部分概述了该领域一部分内的当前和未来挑战，强调了未来研究和发展的最激动人心的机会。
Topological photonics seeks to control the behaviour of the light through the design of protected topological modes in photonic structures. While this approach originated from studying the behaviour of electrons in solid-state materials, it has since blossomed into a field that is at the very forefront of the search for new topological types of matter. This can have real implications for future technologies by harnessing the robustness of topological photonics for applications in photonics devices. This Roadmap surveys some of the main emerging areas of research within topological photonics, with a special attention to questions in fundamental science, which photonics is in an ideal position to address. Each section provides an overview of the current and future challenges within a part of the field, highlighting the most exciting opportunities for future research and developments.
