Spectral Anisotropy in Transition Radiation from Biaxial Media
Sven Ebel, Bibi Mary Francis, Min Seok Jang +4
In anisotropic optical media, the electromagnetic response depends on the orientation of the optical field relative to the material's principal dielectric axes. While this directio…
Dispersion Splitting of Phonon Polaritons in van der Waals Heterostructure
Daeho Noh, Jaehyeong Ock, Sergey G. Menabde +1
The biaxial van der Waals crystal α-phase molybdenum trioxide (α-MoO3) supports hyperbolic phonon-polaritons with anomalous dispersion in the Type-I Reststrahlen band (RB-I). Des…
Local control and lateral nanofocusing of hyperbolic phonon polaritons
Jacob T. Heiden, Haozhe Tong, Yongjun Lim +6
Phonon polaritons in van der Waals crystals enable exceptional light confinement and control over low-loss nanolight propagation. The polariton wavelength can be controlled by the…
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…
Prospects to bypass nonlocal phenomena in metals using phonon-polaritons
Jacob T. Heiden, Eduardo J. C. Dias, Minhyuk Kim +6
Electromagnetic design relies on an accurate understanding of light-matter interactions, yet often overlooks electronic length scales. Under extreme confinement, this omission can…
