A single layer of atoms may seem too thin to meaningfully interact with light, yet materials like tungsten disulfide are reshaping what is possible in nanophotonics. Researchers have now found a way ...

Conventional dielectric nanoresonators trap light inside solid materials such as silicon. While effective in many settings, this approach concentrates optical fields away from the surface, where ...

A major advantage of atomic force microscopes (AFMs) is their versatility in integrating various operational modes that assess different material properties and functionalities. Among the most ...

Guided-mode resonance filters (GMRFs) and cavity resonators represent a transformative class of optical devices that exploit the resonant coupling between incident light and leaky modes in dielectric ...
