摘要
We propose a waveguiding mechanism based on the effective gauge potential for photons. The waveguide geometry consists of core and cladding regions with the same underlying dispersion relation, but subject to different gauge potentials. This geometry can be realized in a dynamically modulated resonator lattice and provides a conceptually straightforward and dynamically reconfigurable mechanism for generating a one-way waveguide.
