Nanophotonics has been extensively studied with the aim of unveiling and exploiting light-matter interactions that occur at a scale below the diffraction limit of light, and recent progress made in experimental technologies--both in nanomaterial fabrication and characterization--is driving further advancements in the field. From the viewpoint of information, on the other hand, novel architectur...

The emerging two-dimensional (2D) materials exhibit a wide range of electronic properties, ranging from insulating hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) such as molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) and tungsten diselenide (WSe2), to semi-metallic graphene. The plethora of 2D materials together with their heterostructures, which are free of the traditional...

Photodetectors are typically based either on photocurrent generation from electron-hole pairs in semiconductor structures or on bolometry for wavelengths that are below bandgap absorption. In both cases, resonant plasmonic and nanophotonic structures have been successfully used to enhance performance. Here, we show subwavelength thermoelectric nanostructures designed for resonant spectrally sel...

Nanophotonics, Nanoelectronics and Nanosensor (N3) is part of International Photonics and OptoElectronics Meetings (POEM), launched by Wuhan National Laboratory for Optoelectronics (WNLO). POEM is a large-scale multi-disciplinary international conference in the field of photonics and optoelectronics. It aims to focus on the key techniques of scientific frontier and industry in the field of opto...

Abstract In a reciprocal medium, transmission of electromagnetic (EM) waves is symmetric along opposite directions which restrict design and implementation various systems in optics photonics. Asymmetric (AT) essential for designing isolators circulators photonics, it benefits other applications such as photovoltaic systems, lasers, cloaking, EM shielding. While bulky nonreciprocal devices base...
