Tailoring TESs with different axial shift of the SSH nanobeams. (a) Spectra of the edge and middle nanobeams of the SSH structure when \(d_{2 } = 1.71\;\upmu{\text{m}}\), showing a merged peak at \(\lambda_{2 } = 1.624\;\upmu{\text{m}}\) and suggesting the edge mode not being allowed at this wavelength. (b) The corresponding electric field distribution |E| at the spectra peak wavelengths \(\lambda_{1}\) (left) and \(\lambda_{2}\) (right), respectively. (c) Spectra of the edge and middle nanobeams of the SSH structure when \(d_{2 } = 4.5\;\upmu{\text{m}}\), showing merged peaks at both \(\lambda_{1 } = 1.546\;\upmu{\text{m}}\) and \(\lambda_{2 } = 1.624\;\upmu{\text{m}}\) and indicating non generation any edge mode. (d) The corresponding field distribution \(H_{z}\) at the two wavelengths. The other geometrical parameters of the nanobeams are the same as those in Fig. 4.
