A non-trivial topological mode can be chosen to lase with high side-mode suppression ratio in originally multi-mode lasing systems with a uniform pumping scheme. The effective combination of non-Hermiticity, topological photonics, and PhC nanostructures provides a powerful tool for on-chip nanophotonic integration.
