Deterministic Transferable Planar Dielectric Mirrors for Investigating Strong Light–Matter Coupling

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Transferable dielectric distributed Bragg reflectors enable the deterministic assembly of high‐quality planar microcavities while maintaining the intrinsic properties of quantum materials during fabrication. The resulting structures exhibit robust exciton‐photon coupling in monolayer WS2${\rm WS}_{2}$ from cryogenic to room temperature, establishing a ...

On the Impact of Mechanical Constraint on Band Structure and Photo‐Elastic Effect in Photonic Resonators

Advanced Physics Research, EarlyView.
We computationally investigate the mechanical, electronic, and optical properties of strained GeSn microdisks on silicon substrates. By combining photo‐elasticity, strain‐dependent band‐structure calculations, and optical mode analysis, we study how strain distribution, structural configuration, and temperature affect the electronic band structure and ...
