Nonlocal-nonlinear phonon polaritons

Gonzalo Álvarez-Pérez, Line Jelver, Alexander Paarmann +1

When light is confined to deeply subwavelength volumes, optical responses can become nonlocal. Yet how nonlocality reshapes nonlinear light-matter interactions remains largely unex…

In-plane vector-field imaging of propagating surface phonon polaritons

Richarda Niemann, Dorothée S. Mader, Gonzalo Alvarez-Pérez +9

Polariton interferometry through optical near-field microscopy has become a powerful tool in nanophotonics, enabling direct spatial access to the propagation characteristics of str…

Spectral tuning of hyperbolic shear polaritons in monoclinic gallium oxide via isotopic substitution

Giulia Carini, Mohit Pradhan, Elena Gelzinyte +26

Hyperbolic phonon polaritons - hybridized modes arising from the ultrastrong coupling of infrared light to strongly anisotropic lattice vibrations in uniaxial or biaxial polar crys…

Broad Spectral Tuning of Ultra-Low Loss Polaritons in a van der Waals Crystal by Intercalation

Javier Taboada-Gutiérrez, Gonzalo Álvarez-Pérez, Jiahua Duan +17

Phonon polaritons (PhPs) -- light coupled to lattice vibrations -- in polar van der Waals (vdW) crystals are promising candidates for controlling the flow of energy at the nanoscal…

Low-power threshold optical bistability enabled by hydrodynamic Kerr nonlinearity of free-carriers in heavily doped semiconductors

Huatian Hu, Gonzalo Álvarez-Pérez, Tadele Orbula Otomalo +1

We demonstrate nanoscale optical bistability at an exceptionally low power threshold of 1 mW by leveraging Kerr-type hydrodynamic nonlinearities due to the heavily doped semiconduc…
