Twistoptics in Planar Heterostructures with an Arbitrary Number of Rotated 3D Thin Layers and 2D Conductive Sheets

Christian Lanza, José Álvarez-Cuervo, Kirill V. Voronin +5

Twistoptics has recently emerged as a branch of nano-optics that explores light propagation in stacks of thin anisotropic layers rotated relative to one another. The concept is par…

Fast Programming of In-Plane Hyperbolic Phonon Polariton Optics Through van der Waals Crystals using the Phase-Change Material In3SbTe2

Lina Jäckering, Umberto Saldarelli, Aaron Moos +8

The high directionality of hyperbolic phonon polaritons (HPhPs) has opened radically new ways to route and steer the flow of energy at the nanoscale. However, launching HPhPs requi…

Long-range mid-infrared energy transfer mediated by hyperbolic phonon polaritons

Gonzalo Álvarez-Pérez, Simone De Liberato, Huatian Hu

We provide a framework to theoretically describe long-range energy transfer in single and twisted two-dimensional hyperbolic slabs. We demonstrate that phonon polaritons (PhPs, qua…

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…

Canalization-based super-resolution imaging using a single van der Waals layer

Jiahua Duan, Aitana Tarazaga Martin-Luengo, Christian Lanza +7

Canalization is an optical phenomenon that enables unidirectional propagation of light in a natural way, i.e., without the need for predefined waveguiding designs. Predicted years…

Planar nano-optics in anisotropic media: anomalous refraction and diffraction-free lensing of highly confined polaritons

J. Duan, G. Álvarez-Pérez, A. I. F. Tresguerres-Mata +13

As one of the most fundamental optical phenomena, refraction between isotropic media is characterized by light bending towards the normal to the boundary when passing from a low- t…
