Abstract
Edge magnetoplasmons (EMPs) provide a platform for probing chiral charge dynamics and nonreciprocal microwave transport in topological quantum materials. However, detecting small perturbations to EMP propagation remains challenging because their signatures in conventional microwave scattering measurements can be weak. Here, we investigate microwave-photon-induced perturbations of EMP transport using a quantum anomalous Hall topological circulator. Pump--probe measurements reveal a strongly frequency-selective response: while microwave irradiation substantially modifies the EMP transmission at several pump frequencies, the transmission remains nearly unchanged at selected frequencies, including 4 and 7 GHz. We further exploit the non-Hermitian mode hybridization of the coupled EMP-resonator system to probe the response near an exceptional point (EP). The pump-induced change in transmission magnitude near the EP is approximately twice that observed away from the EP, demonstrating an enhanced microwave response to perturbations. These results reveal the interplay among chiral EMP transport, microwave-photon-induced perturbations, and non-Hermitian dynamics, and demonstrate the potential of topological circulators as a promising platform for enhanced microwave spectroscopy and sensing.
