Article Abstract

We investigate the exciton polaritons and their corresponding optical modes in a hexagonal GaN microrod at room temperature. The dispersion curves are measured by the angle-resolved micro-photoluminescence spectrometer, and two types of exciton polaritons are identified with the help of the finite-difference time-domain simulation. By changing the pump position, the photon part of the exciton polaritons is found to switch between the quasi-whispering gallery modes and the two-round quasi-whispering gallery modes. The exciton polaritons formed by the latter are observed and distinguished for the first time, with a giant Rabi splitting as large as 2Ω = 230.3 meV.

Highly efficient optoelectronic devices of ultrasmall sizes are demanded as building blocks of next-generation integrated circuits, where tunable color enhances the feasibility of various applications. Here, we realize tunable multicolor nanolasers using disk-shaped axial heterostructures composed of III-nitride materials (GaN/InGaN/GaN), leveraging the optical confinement effect and active waveguiding. In heterostructure nanodisks, the development of exciton-polariton induces unique features near the resonance regime, and the formation of whispering-gallery modes facilitates optical gain processes for the polaritonic lasing of GaN.

Nanophotonics, the study of light-matter interactions at the nanometer scale, has emerged as a transformative field that bridges photonics and nanotechnology. Using engineered nanomaterials-including plasmonic metals, high-index dielectrics, two-dimensional (2D) materials, and hybrid systems-nanophotonics enables light manipulation beyond the diffraction limit, unlocking novel applications in sensing, imaging, and quantum technologies. This review provides a comprehensive overview of recent advances (post-2020) in nanophotonic materials, fabrication methods, and their cutting-edge applications.

Scanning transmission electron microscopy-electron energy loss spectroscopy (STEM-EELS) has emerged as a state-of-the-art characterization modality in materials science, undergoing transformative advancements over the past decade. Revolutionary developments in monochromator technology have pushed EELS energy resolution into the sub-10 meV regime, enabling investigations of low-energy excitations such as phonons, excitons, plasmons, and polaritons at nanometer and sub-nanometer scales, in addition to traditional core-loss spectroscopy. Besides to the high spatial resolution and high energy resolution, the coherent nature of STEM electron probes now allows momentum-resolved spectral information to be acquired, providing an ideal platform for correlating nanoscale structural features with functional properties at the nanometer and atomic level.

Triggered by advances in atomic-layer exfoliation and growth techniques, along with the identification of a wide range of extraordinary physical properties in self-standing films consisting of one or a few atomic layers, two-dimensional (2D) materials such as graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), and other van der Waals (vdW) crystals now constitute a broad research field expanding in multiple directions through the combination of layer stacking and twisting, nanofabrication, surface-science methods, and integration into nanostructured environments. Photonics encompasses a multidisciplinary subset of those directions, where 2D materials contribute remarkable nonlinearities, long-lived and ultraconfined polaritons, strong excitons, topological and chiral effects, susceptibility to external stimuli, accessibility, robustness, and a completely new range of photonic materials based on layer stacking, gating, and the formation of moiré patterns. These properties are being leveraged to develop applications in electro-optical modulation, light emission and detection, imaging and metasurfaces, integrated optics, sensing, and quantum physics across a broad spectral range extending from the far-infrared to the ultraviolet, as well as enabling hybridization with spin and momentum textures of electronic band structures and magnetic degrees of freedom.
