Structured light recently highlighted the higher-dimensional control with many tailored degrees of freedom (DoFs) such as amplitude, wavelength, polarization, and orbital angular momentum (OAM), spurring extension fundamental science advanced applications, especially novel information carrier to meet requirement everlastingly increasing communication bandwidth security. In addition basic DoFs i...

Discrete degrees of freedom, such as spin and orbital, provide a tool to manipulate electrons, photons phonons. Topological insulators have stimulated intense interests in condensed-matter physics, optics, acoustics mechanics, usually with focus on the degree freedom. However, orbital freedom constitutes another fundamental attribute crystals, but has seldom been investigated topological insula...
