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…
Ultrafast Nano-Imaging and Optical Control of Hyperbolic Phonon Polaritons at hBN/WS Heterojunctions
Kazuki Kamada, Keisuke Shinokita, Fanyu Zeng +7
Manipulating nanoscale light-matter interactions on ultrafast time scales is indispensable for future polaritonic devices. Hyperbolic phonon polaritons (HPhPs) in van der Waals mat…
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…
Ultraconfined THz Phonon Polaritons in Hafnium Dichalcogenides
R. A. Kowalski, N. S. Mueller, G. Ãlvarez-Pérez +18
The confinement of electromagnetic radiation to subwavelength scales relies on strong light-matter interactions. In the infrared (IR) and terahertz (THz) spectral ranges, phonon po…
Visualization of topological shear polaritons in gypsum thin films
Pablo DÃaz-Núñez, Christian Lanza, Ziwei Wang +10
Low symmetry crystals have recently emerged as a platform for exploring novel light-matter interactions in the form of hyperbolic shear polaritons. These excitations exhibit unique…
