Near-Field Characterisation of Guided Modes in WS2 Nanobeams and Quasi-Bulk Crystals

Zara S. Taylor, Luke M. Hallacy, Xuerong Hu +7

The exceptionally high in-plane refractive index, low sub-bandgap absorption, and strong optical anisotropy of WS2 make it a promising material platform for next-generation integra…

Observation of Electrically Tunable Chirality Inversion in a Slow-Light Waveguide

Xuchao Chen, Savvas Germanis, Nicholas J. Martin +8

We identify chiral inversion points in slow-light, glide-plane-symmetric, photonic-crystal waveguides, defined as fixed locations where the local optical chirality changes sign ove…

Efficient, High-Fidelity Single-Photon Switch Based on Waveguide-Coupled Cavities

Mateusz Duda, Luke Brunswick, Luke R. Wilson +1

We demonstrate theoretically that waveguide-coupled cavities with embedded two-level emitters can act as a highly efficient, high-fidelity single-photon switch. The photon switch i…
