Sublattice-selective control of spin reversal in metasurface-coupled Kagome interfaces

Abstract

Coherent manipulation of photonic interface states requires a control field that matches their internal mode structure. We study this requirement in a two-component Kagome lattice motivated by photon-mediated exchange near a nonlinear nonlocal metasurface. The Dirac spinors show why uniform Raman control cannot couple opposite-spin, same-valley interface modes at leading order, even when their spatial envelopes coincide. A $1:1:-2$ sublattice pattern removes this cancellation and maximizes the projected coupling at fixed root-mean-square amplitude within the diagonal-control class. We test this control scheme through full-zone topology and complete lattice propagation. For a smooth, gapped interface, a $720$-dimensional calculation gives target-mode fidelity $0.999937$ with leakage $6.27\times10^{-5}$ at RMS drive $0.04t$. Trace-preserving dynamics gives the separate survival condition needed for successful conversion. An exploratory three-dimensional lithium-niobate supercell reproduces the complex addressing pattern with $0.373\%$ relative error and provides nonlocal exchange, decay and electro-optic frequency-conversion matrices. The mode-resolved control principle thus gives quantitative electromagnetic design targets; the full spin-dependent device realization still requires further calibration.
