Hyperbolic phonon polaritons (HPhPs) are generated when infrared photons couple to polar
optic phonons in anisotropic media, confining long-wavelength light to nanoscale volumes …

Anisotropy has been a key property employed in the design of optical components for
hundreds of years. However, in recent years there has been growing interest in polaritons …

Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) hosts long-lived phonon polaritons, yielding a strong mid-
infrared (mid-IR) electric field enhancement and concentration on the nanometer scale. It is …

Hyperbolic phonon polaritons (HPhPs) are stimulated by coupling infrared (IR) photons with
the polar lattice vibrations. Such HPhPs offer low‐loss, highly confined light propagation at …

The long free-space wavelengths associated with the mid-to far-infrared spectral range
impose significant limitations on the form factor of associated optic and electro-optic …

Plasmonics on metal-dielectric interfaces was widely seen as the main route for
miniaturization of components and interconnect of photonic circuits. However recently, ultra …
