Extreme light confinement mediated by the transverse Kerker effect
Sergei Gladyshev, Connor Heimig, Adrià Canós Valero +7
Dielectric nanoparticles can be engineered to scatter light predominantly in the transverse direction, a phenomenon known as the transverse Kerker effect. Although complete cancela…
Accessible, All-Polymer Metasurfaces: Low Effort, High Quality Factor
Michael Hirler, Alexander A. Antonov, Enrico Baù +4
Optical metasurfaces supporting resonances with high quality factors offer an outstanding platform for applications such as non-linear optics, light guiding, lasing, sensing, light…
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…
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…
