Abstract

Controlling the propagation direction of polarized light is crucial for optical communications and functional optical components. However, all-dielectric on-chip technology exploiting valley photon emission in transition metal dichalcogenides with enhanced emission has yet to be fully explored. Here, we report a design for enhancing valley emission and manipulating valley photon propagation based on degenerate non-radiating anapole states. By placing circularly polarized dipoles on top of a $ C_{4} $ symmetric cross-slotted silicon disk, the rotating anapole state is excited with a Purcell factor up to two orders. In addition, the photon coupled to the preferred direction of the waveguide are about 2 times larger than that to the opposite direction. Our design could pave the way for realizing on-chip valley-dependent optical communication.
