Edge modes in subwavelength resonators in one dimension

(Report number 2023-08)

Abstract
We present the mathematical theory of one-dimensional infinitely periodic chains of subwavelength resonators. We analyse both Hermitian and non-Hermitian systems. Subwavelength resonances and associated modes can be accurately predicted by a finite dimensional eigenvalue problem involving a capacitance matrix. We are able to compute the Hermitian and non-Hermitian Zak phases, showing that the former is quantised and the latter is not. Furthermore, we show the existence of localised edge modes arising from defects in the periodicity in both the Hermitian and non-Hermitian cases. In the non-Hermitian case, we provide a complete characterisation of the edge modes.

Keywords: Subwavelength resonances, one-dimensional periodic chains of subwavelength resonators, non-Hermitian topological systems, topologically protected edge modes
