After six years of the initial idea, our paper on the possible realization of Dirac points in optical-frequency photonic crystals are published on Optics Express!

Congratulations Hai-Xiao!


We are proud that we have been aware of the key roles of nonsymmorphic symmetries in topological photonics at a very early stage.


Our works on nonsymmorphic topological states started from 2016 and lasted for a long time:
