Abstract
We demonstrate the emergence of a new class of guided modes in photonic metasurfaces with a gradient change of mass term across boundary between topological and trivial domains. These modes possess spin degeneracy and exhibit splitting in their quality factors due to spin-dependent radiative losses. In experiment we probe our spin-full guided modes by selectively exciting them with circularly polarized light of opposite handedness and we confirm significant difference in the radiative losses for selected k-vectors. Metasurfaces supporting these modes can be used for spin-full waveguiding and can find applications in integrated photonics due to the possibility of spin multiplexing.
