Abstract

We reveal how the vector field links are untied under the influence of anti-parity-time-symmetric couplings in a dissipative sublattice-symmetric topological photonic crystal lattice. The topology of the quasi-one-dimensional two-band system is encoded in the geometric topology of the vector fields associated with the Bloch Hamiltonian. The linked vector fields reflect the topology of the nontrivial phase. The topological phase transition occurs concomitantly with the untying of the vector field link at the exceptional points. Counterintuitively, more dissipation constructively creates a nontrivial topology. The linking number predicts the number of topological photonic zero modes.
