contents We introduce a modular silicon-photonic Fabry-Perot resonator lattice based on cascaded tunable Sagnac loop reflectors. Each SLR is controlled by a single directional-coupler cross-coupling coefficient, enabling modular control of the effective lattice hoppings. As a representative example, alternating two SLR types maps the lattice onto the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model in the weak-coupling limit. We derive the Bloch dispersion via a transfer-matrix formulation and obtain an effective tight-binding Hamiltonian in the weak-coupling limit. S-parameter simulations of a 20-site lattice show an isolated midgap resonance with edge-localized power profiles in the topological phase, and disorder tests show robustness against symmetry-preserving hopping perturbations. Our results establish SLR-based FP lattices as a complementary platform for on-chip topological photonics.
