Abstract

We study a problem of achieving three-dimensional dynamic localization of light in a dynamically-modulated resonator lattice. An effective gauge potential for photons has been previously shown to exhibit in such lattice. Dynamic localization of light can be achieved by varying the effective gauge potential sinusoidally in time. Furthermore, the rotating wave approximation was used in previous works on such effective gauge potential for photons. Here, we find that the effect of dynamic localization persists even in the regime where the counter-rotating term has to be taken into count.
