Abstract
We propose a photonic crystal ring resonator for the enhancement of quality factor that supports two-dimensionally bounded topological edge states. Crystal parameters are obtained through finite-difference time-domain numerical simulation to get the enhanced quality factor using the topological properties of the photonic crystal. Topological edge states are created when two regions with dissimilar band topologies come together at an interface and are contained within a slab of dielectric material. These edge states can move along sharp edges without backscattering. The transmission dropout issue arises whenever the quality factor is enhanced in a conventional photonic system and is eliminated remarkably by employing the present approach. Such nanoscale photonic crystal structures promote robust interactions between quantum emitters and photonic edge states.
