چکیده

Natural materials with hyperbolic responses can confine light with well-defined propagation directions inside the micro/nanostructure. Here we theoretically demonstrate that strong resonance absorption can be achieved in one-dimensional gratings made of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) due to hyperbolic phonon polaritons. The radiative properties of both trapezoidal and square resonators are calculated using anisotropic rigorous coupled-wave analysis. The resonance wavelengths can be theoretically predicted and are shown to follow the anomalous or traditional scaling laws depending on the hyperbolicity. These findings may benefit the applications including photodetection, color filters, and optomechanics.

Mechanical Detection and Imaging of Hyperbolic Phonon Polaritons in Hexagonal Boron Nitride.

Mid-infrared nanoimaging and spectroscopy of two-dimensional (2D) materials have been limited so far to scattering-type scanning near-field optical microscopy (s-SNOM) experiments, where light from the sample is scattered by a metallic-coated atomic force microscope (AFM) tip interacting with the material at the nanoscale. These experiments have recently allowed imaging of plasmon polaritons in...

Negative Refraction with Superior Transmission in Graphene-Hexagonal Boron Nitride (hBN) Multilayer Hyper Crystal

In this article, we have theoretically investigated the performance of graphene-hexagonal Boron Nitride (hBN) multilayer structure (hyper crystal) to demonstrate all angle negative refraction along with superior transmission. hBN, one of the latest natural hyperbolic materials, can be a very strong contender to form a hyper crystal with graphene due to its excellence as a graphene-compatible su...

Super-Planckian Electron Cooling in a van der Waals Stack.

Radiative heat transfer (RHT) between macroscopic bodies at separations that are much smaller than the thermal wavelength is ruled by evanescent electromagnetic modes and can be orders of magnitude more efficient than its far-field counterpart, which is described by the Stefan-Boltzmann law. In this Letter, we present a microscopic theory of RHT in van der Waals stacks comprising graphene and a...

Hyperbolic phonon-polaritons in boron nitride for near-field optical imaging and focusing

Hyperbolic materials exhibit sub-diffractional, highly directional, volume-confined polariton modes. Here we report that hyperbolic phonon polaritons allow for a flat slab of hexagonal boron nitride to enable exciting near-field optical applications, including unusual imaging phenomenon (such as an enlarged reconstruction of investigated objects) and sub-diffractional focusing. Both the enlarge...

Within this spectral range, hBN is also a naturally hyperbolic material, whereby optical modes with very large momenta can be confined and propagated within the sub-diffractional volume of the material 11,12. As a result, optical confinement to volumes that are arbitrarily small with respect to the free-space wavelength should be feasible;...
