摘要
Photonic crystals, including gain and loss materials, show numerous intriguing features than the ordinary photonic crystals. In this work, using the full wave simulation, we numerically investigate the photonic crystals with gain and loss which are satisfying the parity-time (PT) symmetry condition to reveal the effect of PT symmetry on the optical properties of photonic crystals, including the exceptional point, distribution of electromagnetic fields and edge states. This work reveals a novel mechanism of coexistence and competition between topological states and non-Hermiticity in all-dielectric photonic crystals and provides an innovative understanding of non-Hermiticity in topological photonic systems.
