Misalignment between the Directions of Propagation and Decay of Nanoscale-confined Polaritons

Kirill V. Voronin, Gonzalo Álvarez-Pérez, Aitana Tarazaga Martín-Luengo +2

Anisotropic van der Waals crystals have gained significant attention in nanooptics and optoelectronics due to their unconventional optical properties, including anomalous reflectio…

Ultraconfined THz Phonon Polaritons in Hafnium Dichalcogenides

R. A. Kowalski, N. S. Mueller, G. Álvarez-Pérez +18

The confinement of electromagnetic radiation to subwavelength scales relies on strong light-matter interactions. In the infrared (IR) and terahertz (THz) spectral ranges, phonon po…
