Fig. 3. Multidimensional partition of photonic LDOS of a TI with perturbed boundary.

Fig. 3

a A finite-size photonic TI. The parameters are the same as those in Fig. 2a, b. The ratio between the running averaged edge LDOS over the running averaged bulk LDOS (left panel), the ratio between the running averaged corner LDOS over the running averaged bulk LDOS (left panel), and the ratio between the running averaged corner LDOS over the running averaged edge LDOS (left panel) are presented respectively. The solid (dashed) blue and orange lines represent the measured (simulated) ratio for the OI and TI, respectively. c The upper (lower) panels show the LDOS of a single frequency at 4.04, 5.04, 5.88, 7.08, and 7.52 GHz for OI and TI, respectively. For the ordinary insulator (OI), the LDOS is homogeneously distributed over the entire bulk area (EBA) at all frequencies. For the topological insulator (TI), at 4.04, 5.04, 5.88, 7.08, and 7.52 GHz, the LDOS is dominant at the interior bulk area (IBA), edge and IBA, corner, edge and IBA, edge and IBA, respectively (encircled by dashed blue lines) which clearly reveals the multidimensional partition of the LDOS.
