Far‐Infrared Hyperbolic Phonon–Polaritons in Zirconium Disulfide

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
An unpatterned ZrS2${\rm ZrS}_2$ flake, coupled to far‐field infrared light by metal nanoribbons, reveals hyperbolic phonon polaritons with multiple higher‐order branches and effective refractive indices up to 223. This resonator‐assisted approach establishes ZrS2${\rm ZrS}_2$ as a compact van der Waals platform for deeply subwavelength far‐infrared ...

Unveiling α‐MoO3 as a High‐Index, Low‐Loss Anisotropic Material: Bridging the Gap From Mid‐Infrared to Ultraviolet Nanophotonics

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
α‐MoO3 is established as a high‐index, low‐loss anisotropic platform bridging mid‐infrared polaritonics and ultraviolet‐visible nanophotonics. Spectroscopic ellipsometry and calculations reveal refractive indices exceeding 3.9, with the largest in‐plane birefringence among transparent layered crystals at 425–500 nm, enabling zero‐order UV waveplates ...

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 ...

Two‐Dimensional Isotropic Spatial Differentiation Through Complete Polarization Control

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
This work enables two‐dimensional isotropic spatial differentiation at planar interfaces over a wide range of incident angles by extending the output polarization from linear to elliptical. The choice of incident angle can be used to balance broader spectral response at low angles and higher edge‐detection efficiency at larger angles.

Hollow waveguides as polarization converting elements: a theoretical study [PDF]

Journal of the European Optical Society-Rapid Publications, 2015
Subwavelength apertures in a metallic film act as hollow waveguides. By using a non-quadratic cross-section, an anisotropic transmission behaviour results for the two polarization states.
