Topological light-trapping on a dislocation

Although topological confinement of waves to the edges is common, lower-dimensional wave confinement is scarce. Here, Li et al. demonstrate that concurrent wavevector and real-space topology can lead to a topologically protected zero-dimensional cavity mode in a two-dimensional photonic crystal.
