Abstract
We investigate the topological edge modes of surface plasmonic polaritons (SPPs) in a two-dimensional waveguide array composed of graphene-coated nanowires. The system experiences topological phase transition by tuning the inter-layer spacing between adjacent unit cells. The topological modes emerge at the edge of topological non-trivial nanowire arrays when the intra-layer spacing is larger than the inter-layer spacing. Thanks to the strong confinement of graphene SPPs, the modal wavelength of topological edge modes can be squeezed as small as 1/20 of incident wavelength. The study provides a promising approach to realizing robust light transport beyond diffraction limit.
