Dielectric microspheres with diameters on the order of several wavelengths of light have attracted increasing attention from the photonics community due to their ability to produce extraordinarily tightly focused beams termed photonic…
Photochromic molecular structures constitute a unique platform for constructing molecular switches, sensors and memory devices. One of their most promising applications is as light-switchable electron acceptor or donor units. Here, we…
Achieving precise control of photoinduced molecular charge transfer reactions underpins key emerging technologies. As such, the use of hybrid light-matter molecular exciton-polariton states has been proposed as a scheme to directly modify…
Absorption, photoluminescence, and photoluminescence excitation spectra of solutions and thin films of N-vinylcarbazole polymers and copolymers with various substituents directly on the carbazole moiety and on the polymer chain were studied…
Polystyrene-based phosphorene nanocomposites were prepared by a solvent blending procedure allowing the embedding of black phosphorus (BP) nanoflakes in the polymer matrix. Raman spectroscopy, X Ray Diffraction and TEM microscopy were…

A massive photon possesses a longitudinal polarization mode absent in its massless counterpart. Transverse and longitudinal modes follow different dispersion relations, the latter being much less attenuated than the former when passing…
We investigate photothermal effects in monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) integrated with an ultrahigh-Q silica microcavity. Launching a continuous-wave laser into a cavity resonance enables controlled intracavity heating,…
Metasurfaces are nano-structured devices composed of arrays of subwavelength scatterers (or meta-atoms) that manipulate the wavefront, polarization, or intensity of light. Like other diffractive optical devices, metasurfaces suffer from…
Multimode optical fibers represent the ideal platform for transferring multidimensional light states. However, dispersion degrades the correlations between the light's degrees of freedom, thus limiting the effective transport of ultrashort…
We develop a microscopic theory for the multimode polariton dispersion in materials coupled to cavity radiation modes. Starting from a microscopic light-matter Hamiltonian, we devise a general strategy for obtaining simple matrix models of…
