When low-dimensional materials meet metasurfaces
* Cheng-Wei Qiu, Associate Professor and Dean's Chair, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, National University of Singapore, Singapore Metasurfaces and low-dimensional materials have been developing as important candidates in the interfacial engineering, providing a plethora of new possibilities in novel optoelectronic functions and applications. The synergies between those domains hold great promises in manipulating light-matter interaction. In this talk, I will start from reviewing and reporting some of the most recent developments in metasurfaces and nanophotonics, and then focus on how monolayer TMDC and layered 2D materials could be hybridized with classic metasurfaces to modulate and structure novel light behavior, such as zero-dark-current and bipolar semimetal photodetector, monolayer meta-lens of atomic thickness, hybrid designs with enhanced SHG, PL, and tunable structural colors, by the coordinated hybridization between those two parties. Finally, we will elaborate our new breakthrough based on the fusion and integration of symmetry and topological physics with van der Waals polaritonic metasurfaces, as a new roadmap toward ultra-low loss, long-range propagation, topological interfaces, and tailorable on-chip integrated functional devices. |
