Abstract

We present a theory of topological edge states in one-dimensional resonant photonic crystals with a compound unit cell. Contrary to the traditional electronic topological states the states under consideration are radiative, i.e., they decay in time due to the light escape through the structure boundaries. We demonstrate that the states survive despite their radiative decay and can be detected both in time- and frequency-dependent light reflection.
