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…
