Real and imaginary edge states in stacked Floquet honeycomb lattices
Please always quote using this URN: urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-232347
- We present a non-Hermitian Floquet model with topological edge states in real and imaginaryband gaps. The model utilizes two stacked honeycomb lattices which can be related via four different typesof non-Hermitian time-reversal symmetry. Implementing the correct time-reversal symmetry provides uswith either two counterpropagating edge states in a real gap, or a single edge state in an imaginary gap.The counterpropagating edge states allow for either helical or chiral transport along the lattice perimeter.In stark contrast, we find that the edgeWe present a non-Hermitian Floquet model with topological edge states in real and imaginaryband gaps.

Instead, it remainsspatially localized while its amplitude continuously increases. Our model is well-suited for realizing theseedge states in photonic waveguide lattices…
