Dispersion Splitting of Phonon Polaritons in van der Waals Heterostructure

Daeho Noh, Jaehyeong Ock, Sergey G. Menabde +1

The biaxial van der Waals crystal α-phase molybdenum trioxide (α-MoO3) supports hyperbolic phonon-polaritons with anomalous dispersion in the Type-I Reststrahlen band (RB-I). Despi…

Local control and lateral nanofocusing of hyperbolic phonon polaritons

Jacob T. Heiden, Haozhe Tong, Yongjun Lim +6

Phonon polaritons in van der Waals crystals enable exceptional light confinement and control over low-loss nanolight propagation. The polariton wavelength can be controlled by the…

Bloch phonon-polaritons with anomalous dispersion in polaritonic Fourier crystals

Sergey G. Menabde, Yongjun Lim, Alexey Y. Nikitin +5

The recently suggested concept of a polaritonic Fourier crystal (PFC) is based on a harmonically-corrugated mirror substrate for a thin pristine polaritonic crystal layer. The prop…

Prospects to bypass nonlocal phenomena in metals using phonon-polaritons

Jacob T. Heiden, Eduardo J. C. Dias, Minhyuk Kim +6

Electromagnetic design relies on an accurate understanding of light-matter interactions, yet often overlooks electronic length scales. Under extreme confinement, this omission can…

Polaritonic Fourier crystal

Sergey G. Menabde, Yongjun Lim, Kirill Voronin +4

Polaritonic crystals - periodic structures where the hybrid light-matter waves called polaritons can form Bloch states - promise a deeply subdiffractional nanolight manipulation an…

Fourier analysis of near-field patterns generated by propagating polaritons

Minsoo Jang, Sergey G. Menabde, Fatemeh Kiani +5

Scattering-type scanning near-field optical microscope (s-SNOM) has become an essential tool to study polaritons - quasiparticles of light coupled to collective charge oscillations…

Image polaritons in van der Waals crystals

Sergey G. Menabde, Jacob T. Heiden, Joel Cox +2

Polaritonic modes in low-dimensional materials enable strong light-matter interactions and provide a platform for light manipulation at nanoscale. Very recently, a new class of pol…

Near-field probing of image phonon-polaritons in hexagonal boron nitride on gold crystals

Sergey G. Menabde, Sergejs Boroviks, Jongtae Ahn +7

Near-field mapping has been widely used to study hyperbolic phonon-polaritons in van der Waals crystals. However, an accurate measurement of the polaritonic loss remains challengin…

Real-space imaging of acoustic plasmons in large-area CVD graphene

Sergey G. Menabde, In-Ho Lee, Sanghyub Lee +8

An acoustic plasmonic mode in a graphene-dielectric-metal heterostructure has recently been spotlighted as a superior platform for strong light-matter interaction. It originates fr…

Self-stabilizing laser sails based on optical metasurfaces

Joel Siegel, Anthony Wang, Sergey G. Menabde +3

This article investigates the stability of 'laser sail'-style spacecraft constructed from dielectric metasurfaces with areal densities 1g/m. We show that the microscopic opt…

Interface defect-assisted phonon scattering of hot carriers in graphene

Sergey Menabde, Hyunwoo Cho, Namkyoo Park

The broadband and ultrafast photoresponse of graphene has been extensively studied in recent years, although the photoexcited carrier dynamics is still far from being completely un…

Direct Optical Probing of Transverse Electric Mode in Graphene

Sergey Menabde, Daniel Mason, Evgeny Kornev +2

Unique electrodynamic response of graphene implies a manifestation of an unusual propagating and localised transverse-electric (TE) mode near the spectral onset of interband transi…

A bandgap phenomenon in non-periodic plasmonic waveguides

Viacheslav Shaidiuk, Sergey Menabde, Namkyoo Park

The phenomenon of a dispersion bandgap opening between low-loss spectral windows of odd and even plasmonic modes in a layered insulator-metal-insulator plasmonic waveguide is intro…
