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…
Rewritable Chirality of Metasurfaces with Permittivity-Asymmetric Flatband Quasi-Bound States in the Continuum
Tao Jiang, Haiyang Hu, Dmytro Gryb +4
Flatband eigenstates are widely applied to enhance angle-robust light-matter interactions in metaphotonics. However, controlling the polarization of flatbands remains challenging,…
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…
