Ch number is one of the most important criteria by which the existence of a topological photonic state among various photonic crystals can be judged;however,few reports have presented a universal numerical calculation method to directly calculate the Ch numbers of different topological photonic crystals and have denoted the influence of different structural parameters.Herein,we demonstrate a direct and universal method based on the finite element method to calculate the Ch number of the typical topological photonic crystals by dividing the Brillouin zone into small zones,establishing new properties to obtain the discrete Ch number,and simultaneously drawing the Berry curvature of the first Brillouin zone.We also explore the manner in which the topological properties are influenced by the different structure types,air duty ratios,and rotating operations of the unit cells;meanwhile,we obtain large Ch numbers from-2 to 4.Furthermore,we can tune the topological phase change via different rotation operations of triangular dielectric pillars.This study provides a highly efficient and simple method for calculating the Ch numbers and plays a major role in the prediction of novel topological photonic states.
