In modern optics, materials with large birefringence ({\Delta}n, where n is the refractive index) are sought after for polarization control (e.g. in wave plates, polarizing beam splitters, etc.), nonlinear optics and quantum optics (e.g.…
Polarimetric infrared detection bolsters IR thermography by leveraging the polarization of light. Optical anisotropy, i.e., birefringence and dichroism, can be leveraged to achieve polarimetric detection. Recently, giant optical anisotropy…
Optical anisotropy is a fundamental attribute of some crystalline materials and is quantified via birefringence. A birefringent crystal not only gives rise to asymmetrical light propagation but also attenuation along two distinct…
Atomically thin two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), such as MoS$_2$, are promising candidates for nanoscale photonics because of strong-light matter interactions. However, Fermi level pinning due to metal-induced…
