Article Abstract
Chirally responsive metasurfaces have a wide range of applications in nanophotonics, including imaging, virtual reality, and optical encryption. Most metasurfaces, with a high chiral optical response, are typically constructed from two or more layers of metasurfaces stacked with a rotational or translational offset. This requires precise layer alignment, increasing fabrication difficulty and cost. This work introduces a single-layer dielectric metasurface with an intrinsic chiral optical response in the yellow light region, with a maximum circular dichroism transmission value of 0.415. The proposed metasurface leverages a structure with rotational symmetry to induce constructive or destructive interference and to provide a high degree of freedom. Additionally, multipole decomposition is also employed to analyze the Mie resonances that dominate the light scattering behavior. These results help expand the applications of chiral dielectric metasurface in the fields of optical encryption, display, enantiomer separation, and detection.

Fano lineshapes associated with quasi bound-state-in-the-continuum resonances, that are supported by dielectric metasurfaces, have the advantageous properties of being extremely sensitive to minute geometrical changes in the meta-atoms. We show an approach to determine deep subwavelength feature sizes, comparable to semiconductor critical dimension metrology, by structurally infilling a void of a dielectric disk-hole metasurface design. Our simulated results show a sensitivity of 40.

The integration of terahertz (THz) technology with metasurfaces has attracted attention as it enables the fabrication of compact, high-performance, and tunable photonic devices. However, extensive investigation of metasurfaces was limited to a narrow THz range or manipulating a single mode of electromagnetic waves, absorption, reflection, or transmission, without achieving multi-band or broadband switching. This capability constrains metasurface adaptability in modern and reconfigurable systems.

Phonon polaritons─quasiparticles formed by coupling infrared (IR) photons with optical phonons in polar materials─enable highly confined light-matter interactions with lower losses than those of plasmonic systems. Although they have been successfully exploited for enhanced mid-IR chemical sensing in solid- and liquid-phase environments, their application in gas-phase detection remains largely underexplored. Here, we introduce a low-loss phonon polariton platform based on planar Pd/SiC heterostructures and nanostructured Pd/SiC metasurfaces for enhanced mid-IR gas detection.

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.

Alloying AlN with ScN provides a robust strategy for engineering its intrinsic bandgap, phonons and dielectric functions, and ScAlN alloys have demonstrated great promise in applications including the 5G mobile network, surface acoustic wave devices and nanophotonics. Sc doping has been shown to greatly influence the phonons and infrared dielectric functions of AlN, yet few studies have focused on its influence on surface phonon polaritons, which are crucial to modulating the radiative properties of ScAlN metasurfaces. Herein, we combined first-principles and finite element method (FEM) simulations to fully investigate the effects of Sc incorporation on the phonon dispersion relation, propagation and localization of SPhPs and the modulated radiative properties of ScAlN nanoresonators.
