Abstract

We propose and characterize solid-state photonic structures where light experiences an artificial gauge field. A nontrivial phase for photons tunneling between adjacent sites of a coupled cavity array can be obtained by inserting optically active materials in the structure or by inducing a suitable coupling of the propagation and polarization degrees of freedom. We also discuss the feasibility of observing strong gauge field effects in the optical spectra of realistic systems, including the Hofstadter butterfly spectrum.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
