“…Therefore, the dynamically tunable topological TPC structures are highly desirable to realize reconfigurable, self-adaptive, and multi-functional photonic devices. Although dynamic tunability has been proposed in 1D and 2D TPC structures based on thermal tuning [26], mechanical tuning [27], optical tuning [28][29][30] as well as electrical tuning [31] for acoustic, terahertz, and communication wavelengths, it is still challenging to achieve amplitude tunable topological photonic devices especially when the devices are composed of metal rods. Therefore, in this work, we experimentally demonstrate a technique of dynamic tunability of EM wave propagation through a TPC structure that would be useful to realize modulators, beam splitters, and many other photonic devices in the microwave regime.…”
