Abstract

At the zigzag edge of a magnetic photonic crystal with honeycomb lattice, the nonreciprocal surface modes (NSMs) could appear below the magnetic surface plasmon (MSP) frequency. The NSMs possess very flat slopes outside the light line, which is strikingly different from the nearly linear dispersion curve just above the MSP frequency and results in strong confinement and enhancement of the electromagnetic field. Particularly, an enhancement over 100 times in magnetic field is achieved because of the strong magnetic response arising from the MSP resonance. In addition, the branch of double-valued NSM dispersion curve provides zero group velocity away from the Brillouin zone boundary.
