Polaritonic materials fabricated and tested with ultrashort-pulse lasers
David W. Ward, Eric R. Statz, Thomas Feurer +1
Using femtosecond laser machining, we have fabricated photonic bandgap materials that influence propagation of phonon-polaritons in ferroelectric crystals. Broadband polaritons wer…

Phonon-Polariton Propagation, Guidance, and Control in Bulk and Patterned Thin Film Ferroelectric Crystals
David W. Ward, Eric Statz, Jaime D. Beers +5
Using time resolved ultrafast spectroscopy, we have demonstrated that the far infrared (FIR) excitations in ferroelectric crystals may be modified through an arsenal of control tec…
