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…
