Plasmonic Fourier Surfaces Revisited: Relating Bandgaps with Bound States in the Continuum
Alexander A. Antonov, Connor Heimig, Hannah Niese +5
Periodically corrugated metal interfaces supporting surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) belong to the earliest nanoplasmonic platforms. Even simplest reliefs described by a few harmo…
Orbital Angular Momentum Locking via Bound States in the Continuum
Enrico Baù, Connor Heimig, Jonas Biechteler +6
Optical vortices are electromagnetic fields twisting around a phase singularity, resulting in quantized orbital angular momentum (OAM). When such vortices are formed by evanescent…
Topological Control of Polaritonic Flatbands in Anisotropic van der Waals Metasurfaces
Connor Heimig, Thomas Weber, Cristina Cruciano +9
Anisotropic van der Waals (vdW) materials exhibit direction-dependent optical and electronic properties, making them valuable for tailoring directional light-matter interactions. R…
Extreme light confinement mediated by the transverse Kerker effect
Sergei Gladyshev, Connor Heimig, Adrià Canós Valero +7
Dielectric nanoparticles can be engineered to scatter light predominantly in the transverse direction, a phenomenon known as the transverse Kerker effect. Although complete cancela…
Integration of 2D Materials in Radial van der Waals Heterostructure Metasurfaces
Connor Heimig, Jonas Biechteler, Cristina Cruciano +12
Two-dimensional semiconductors, such as monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDC), exhibit strong excitonic transitions at room temperature and offer a unique platform for…
Accessible, All-Polymer Metasurfaces: Low Effort, High Quality Factor
Michael Hirler, Alexander A. Antonov, Enrico Baù +4
Optical metasurfaces supporting resonances with high quality factors offer an outstanding platform for applications such as non-linear optics, light guiding, lasing, sensing, light…
