Optical bound states in the continuum (BIC) allow to totally prevent a photonic mode from radiating into free space along a given spatial direction. Polariton excitations derived from the strong radiation-matter interaction of a BIC with an…

Exciton-polaritons - coherently hybridized states of excitons and photons - are instrumental for solid-state nonlinear optics and quantum simulations. To enable engineered polariton energy landscapes and interactions, local control over the…
Polaritons are quasiparticles resulting from strong quantum coupling of light and matter. Peculiar properties of polaritons are a mixture of physics usually restricted to one of these realms, making them interesting for study not only from…
