Through systematically manipulating the couplings in the photonic lattice, the topological nature emerges associated with edge state dynamics. Here, we demonstrate a robust photonic zero mode sustained by a spatial non-Hermitian phase transition in a parity-time (PT) symmetric lattice despite the same topological order across the entire system and a flexible topological photonic lattice with multiple topologically nontrivial dispersion bands. Heterodyne measurements clearly reveal the ultrafast transport dynamics and energy of the edge states at a femtosecond scale, validating the designed topological features.
