Here we discuss how a new generation of infrared optoelectronics could be realized leveraging surface phonon polaritons.

Shear phenomena in the infrared dielectric response of a monoclinic crystal are shown to unveil a new polariton class termed hyperbolic shear polariton that can emerge in any low-symmetry monoclinic or triclinic system

Superstructure gratings tailor thermal emission

In recent work published in Advanced Materials, us and collaborators at Vanderbilt show that both near infrared and mid-infrared light can be guided on a silicon chip by combining two different materials
