报告摘要：

Topological photonics has attracted great research interest owing to its potential to create photonic devices that are robust against small impurities and imperfections. In this talk, I will present our recent work on polarization conversion as light is reflected from a photonic crystal slab. We observe that complete conversion between linear polarizations can occur over a wide range of frequencies and further demonstrate that such an effect is topological in nature. We further show a photonic crystal slab can achieve arbitrary polarization conversion. Our work points to the use of topological photonics concepts for the control of polarization and suggests the exploration of topological properties of scattering matrices as a route towards creating robust optical devices.
