Polaritons are hybrid excitations of matter and photons. In recent years, polaritons in van der
Waals nanomaterials—known as van der Waals polaritons—have shown great promise to …

BACKGROUND Light trapped at the nanoscale, deep below the optical wavelength, exhibits
an increase in the associated electric field strength, which results in enhanced light-matter …

Graphene plasmonic modulators can manipulate the mid‐infrared light in transmission
mode, which is currently challenging for traditional liquid crystal and digital micromirror …

Low-dimensional van der Waals (vdW) materials can harness tightly confined polaritonic
waves to deliver unique advantages for nanophotonic biosensing. The reduced …

Molecular plasmonics, the area which deals with the interactions between surface plasmons
and molecules, has received enormous interest in fundamental research and found …

Enhanced light-matter interactions are the basis of surface-enhanced infrared absorption
(SEIRA) spectroscopy, and conventionally rely on plasmonic materials and their capability to …

The development of highly-sensitive miniaturized sensors that allow real-time quantification
of analytes is highly desirable in medical diagnostics, veterinary testing, food safety, and …

Abstract Surface Plasmon Polaritons (SPPs) operating in mid-infrared up to terahertz (THz)
frequencies have been traditionally manufactured on expensive metals such as gold, silver …

Identification of gas molecules plays a key role a wide range of applications extending from
healthcare to security. However, the most widely used gas nano-sensors are based on …

Abstract The World Health Organization reported that 4.2 million deaths every year were a
direct result of exposure to ambient air pollution (NO 2, SO 2, NH 3, CO 2, CO, CH 4). There …
