Abstract
“Photonic graphene” has been demonstrated as a useful platform to study fundamental physics such as edge states and topological insulators. Recently, we have demonstrated pseudospin-mediated generation of topological charges in photonic graphene. Due to sublattice degree of freedom, charge flipping is observed as the sublattices are selectively excited. Our experimental results are confirmed by numerical simulation as well as by theoretical analysis of the 2D Dirac-Weyl equations. In this talk, we will discuss such pseudospin-related phenomena due to the sublattice degree of freedom, along with our recent work on related phenomena due to the graphene valley degree of freedom.
