Topological Photonics: Fundamentals and Applications provides an introduction to the key principles and advances in the understanding of topology and the design of new photonic materials systems and their applications. Section 1 elaborates on the necessary fundamental concepts to understand the field, starting from background discoveries in condensed matter physics and delving into describing the underlying concepts and the experimental progress in 1D, 2D, 3D topological photonics systems as well as in synthetic dimensions and non-Hermitian platforms. Section 2 highlights the most promising applications of topological photonics, including the current progress and most important challenges for each of them. Topological Photonics is suitable for those working in academia and R&D in the subject areas of materials science, engineering—particularly researchers and practitioners working in the research fields of topological materials, optics, and photonics. Introduces the fundamental principles of topological photonics and their application in the design of photonic systemsReviews the models, experimental progress, and challenges and limitations of emerging topological photonic systemsDiscusses the future prospects and challenges of applications of topological photonics in lasers, quantum technologies, sensors, and integrated optics
