Strong Coupling in all‐Polymer Planar Microcavities

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Strong Coupling has been achieved in an all‐polymer microcavity with dielectric contrast Δn = 0.33 doped with TDBC. A Rabi splitting of 39 meV has been measured opening novel perspectives for polymer photonics. ABSTRACT In this work, strong coupling effect is observed in all‐polymer planar microcavities incorporating TDBC J‐aggregates dispersed into ...

Omnidirectional Ultra‐Broadband Cu/TiO2 Metasurface Absorbers for High‐Efficiency Solar Thermal Conversion and Photothermal Plasmon‐Driven Catalysis

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Metasurface shows selective solar–thermal energy conversion with high‐activity solar/laser‐driven chemistry. The breakthrough is co‐designing broadband FP‐cavity + plasmonic LSPR/SLR resonances in an ultra‐thin metamaterial so that it not only harvests the most efficient proportion of solar radiation but also suppresses mid and IR emissivity. Moreover,
