Shaping Near Fields of Photonic Modes into Topological Textures
Jonas Biechteler, Michael Hirler, Connor Heimig +5
Topological textures of light, such as optical vortices and skyrmions, are attractive for high-density information encoding and light-matter interactions. In the near field, topolo…
Orbital Angular Momentum Locking via Bound States in the Continuum
Enrico Baù, Connor Heimig, Jonas Biechteler +6
Optical vortices are electromagnetic fields twisting around a phase singularity, resulting in quantized orbital angular momentum (OAM). When such vortices are formed by evanescent…
Integration of 2D Materials in Radial van der Waals Heterostructure Metasurfaces
Connor Heimig, Jonas Biechteler, Cristina Cruciano +12
Two-dimensional semiconductors, such as monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDC), exhibit strong excitonic transitions at room temperature and offer a unique platform for…
Fabrication Optimization of van der Waals Metasurfaces: Inverse Patterning Boosts Resonance Quality Factor
Jonas Biechteler, Connor Heimig, Thomas Weber +5
Van der Waals (vdW) materials have garnered growing interest for use as nanophotonic building blocks that offer precise control over light-matter interaction at the nanoscale, such…
Spatially Encoded Polaritonic Ultra-Strong Coupling in Gradient Metasurfaces with Epsilon-Near-Zero Modes
Enrico Bau, Andreas Aigner, Jonas Biechteler +4
We introduce a platform to achieve ultra-strong coupling (USC) between light and matter using widely available materials. USC is a light-matter interaction regime characterized by…
Interface second harmonic generation enhancement in hetero-bilayer van der Waals nanoantennas
Andrea Tognazzi, Paolo Franceschini, Jonas Biechteler +5
Layered van der Waals (vdW) materials have emerged as a promising platform for nanophotonics due to large refractive indexes and giant optical anisotropy. Unlike conventional diele…
Chiral Nonlinear Polaritonics with van der Waals Metasurfaces
Connor Heimig, Alexander A. Antonov, Dmytro Gryb +10
In the strong-coupling regime, the interaction between light and matter reaches a hybridization state where the photonic and material components are inseparably linked. Using tailo…
Van der Waals heterostructure metasurfaces: atomic-layer assembly of ultrathin optical cavities
Luca Sortino, Jonas Biechteler, Lucas Lafeta +5
Photonics has been revolutionized by breakthroughs in optical metasurfaces and layered two-dimensional materials. Yet, integrating these two fields in a singular system has remaine…
Optically addressable spin defects coupled to bound states in the continuum metasurfaces
Luca Sortino, Angus Gale, Lucca Kühner +9
Van der Waals (vdW) materials, including hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), are layered crystalline solids with appealing properties for investigating light-matter interactions at the…
