Directional strong coupling at the nanoscale between hyperbolic polaritons and organic molecules

Ana I. F. Tresguerres-Mata, Olga G. Matveeva, Christian Lanza +17

Strong coupling (SC) is a fundamental concept in physics that describes extreme interactions between light and matter. Recent experiments have demonstrated SC at the nanometer scal…

Canalization-based super-resolution imaging using a single van der Waals layer

Jiahua Duan, Aitana Tarazaga Martin-Luengo, Christian Lanza +7

Canalization is an optical phenomenon that enables unidirectional propagation of light in a natural way, i.e., without the need for predefined waveguiding designs. Predicted years…

Thermal and electrostatic tuning of surface phonon-polaritons in LaAlO3/SrTiO3 heterostructures

Yixi Zhou, Adrien Waelchli, Margherita Boselli +12

Phonon polaritons are promising for infrared applications due to a strong light-matter coupling and subwavelength energy confinement they offer. Yet, the spectral narrowness of the…

Enabling propagation of anisotropic polaritons along forbidden directions via a topological transition

Jiahua Duan, Gonzalo Álvarez-Pérez, Kirill V. Voronin +6

Recent discoveries of polaritons in van der Waals (vdW) crystals with directional in-plane propagation, ultra-low losses, and broad spectral tunability have opened the door for unp…
