Abstract

Mode selecting plays a vital role in the field of optoelectronics, such as optical communication, signal processing, on-chip light manipulation, mode conversion, and frequency synthesis. In this work, flexible selection and enhancement of the frequency modes in an unidirectional coupled Su–Schrieffer–Heeger (SSH) frequency lattice are obtained with Floquet exceptional points (EPs) and chiral Zener tunneling (ZT). The unidirectional coupled non-Hermitian SSH frequency lattices are synthesized by a double-ring system with complex dynamical modulations. Under an effective direct current (dc) force induced by the phase-mismatching of the modulations, the two Floquet bands of the non-Hermitian frequency lattices are degenerated and the Floquet EPs arise. Therefore, the unidirectional and irreversible frequency mode conversion takes place, which is the chiral ZT. Moreover, through perturbation analysis and numerical simulations, we prove that the frequency modes of the two-band system can be selected and enhanced by a multi-photon resonance dc force.
