Perfect Absorption in the Strong Coupling Regime via Degenerate Critical Coupling
Eleonora P. Kraus, Jamie M. Fitzgerald, Carlos Maciel-Escudero +1
Perfect absorption (PA) represents a fundamental limit of light-matter interaction and a means to maximize nanoscale energy conversion. While PA is now a well-established phenomeno…
Engineering strong coupling in ultra-compact photonic crystal/2D material platforms
Eleonora P. Kraus, Jamie M. Fitzgerald, Carlos Maciel-Escudero +1
Sub-wavelength thick photonic crystal (PhC) slabs coupled to 2D excitonic materials, such as transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), are a promising platform for highly tunable, r…
Experimental verification of field-enhanced molecular vibrational scattering at single infrared antennas
Divya Virmani, Carlos Maciel-Escudero, Rainer Hillenbrand +1
Surface-enhanced infrared absorption (SEIRA) spectroscopy exploits the field enhancement near nanophotonic structures for highly sensitive characterization of (bio)molecules. The v…
On the origin of the Kerker phenomena
Jon Lasa-Alonso, Chiara Devescovi, Carlos Maciel-Escudero +2
We provide an insight into the origin of the phenomena reported 40 years ago by Kerker, Wang and Giles (Journal of the Optical Society of America, 73, 6, pp. 765-767, (1983)). We s…
Probing optical anapoles with fast electron beams
Carlos Maciel-Escudero, Andrew B. Yankovich, Battulga Munkhbat +5
Optical anapoles are intriguing charge-current distributions characterized by a strong suppression of electromagnetic radiation. They originate from the destructive interference of…
Preservation and destruction of the purity of two-photon states in the interaction with a nanoscatterer
Álvaro Nodar, Ruben Esteban, Carlos Maciel-Escudero +3
The optical resonances supported by nanostructures offer the possibility to enhance the interaction between matter and the quantum states of light. In this work, we provide a frame…
Probing and steering bulk and surface phonon polaritons in uniaxial materials using fast electrons: hexagonal boron nitride
C. Maciel-Escudero, Andrea Konečná, Rainer Hillenbrand +1
We theoretically describe how fast electrons couple to polaritonic modes in uniaxial materials by analyzing the electron energy loss (EEL) spectra. We show that in the case of an u…
