Abstract

Theoretical and experimental results are presented that introduce topology into the field of plasmonic and optical resonances in ring resonators. Due to the occurrence of the Berry phase in non-trivial evolution, plasmon/photon modes with non-integer numbers of wavelengths along the circumference are revealed in metallic/dielectric Möbius rings that do not exist in conventional ring resonators. Notably, a variable Berry phase ranging from 0 to π was generated and observed in optical Möbius-strip microcavities. This contrasts with previous reports in optical, electronic, and magnetic Möbius topology systems, which suggest only a fixed Berry phase of π. In cone-shaped anisotropic microtube resonators, optical spin–orbit coupling is enabled for the generation of the Berry phase acquired in a non-cyclic and non-Abelian evolution. These topology-induced effects hold promising potential for applications in manipulating photons in on-chip integrable quantum devices.
