Extending the Reach of Phonon Polaritions to New Material Interactions

Abstract

This program demonstrated new types of materials and interactions for phonon polaritons. Our key insight was that the requisite conditions regarding optical properties for phonon polaritons can also be satisfied by a wider range of materials, including inorganic and molecular crystals such as calcite. This opens new opportunities for expanding phonon polariton phenomena to more materials and an expanded spectral range. In this program, we demonstrated phonon polaritons in nanopillar arrays of calcite and expand active tuning of phonon polaritons to new materials.
