In this work, we present our results of characterizing a plasmonic heater using thermoreflectance imaging (TRI). The TRI technique presented here outperforms thermal camera-based technique in spatial resolution due to the visible light utilized for illumination, and does not require special sample preparation as in TGP-based technique. We chose to use a gap plasmon structure to maximize the optical absorption, and fabricated structures with various dimensions that exhibit varying optical absorptions at a fixed wavelength of 825 nm, which is the wavelength of pump light used in the TRI measurement. The TRI setup uses a millisecond-modulated continuous-wave pump laser to induce local temperature fluctuation on the sample surface, a 530 nm LED probe light then senses the change in the temperature-dependent material reflectance between high and low temperatures, which combined with a pre-calibrated thermoreflectance coefficient can be used to calculate the temperature rise on each image pixel. This technique grants us a resolution of ~200 nm. The experimentally obtained temperature rise on various gap plasmon structures correlates well with their optical absorption, and we compare the results against a finite element heat transfer model. Using a separate pump-probe thermoreflectance technique, we experimentally obtain the heat transfer dynamics of such gap plasmon structure under laser irradiation with picosecond resolution.","PeriodicalId":346327,"journal":{"name":"Active Photonic Platforms X","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122889216","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Along with passive metasurfaces, significant efforts are also being made to design metasurfaces with tunable optical response. Among various approaches, voltage tuning is of particular interest because it creates the possibility of integration with electronics. In this work, we demonstrate voltage tuning of reflectance from a complementary metasurface strongly coupled to an epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) mode in an ultrathin semiconductor layer. Our approach involves electrically controlling the carrier concentration of the ENZ layer to modulate the polaritonic coupling between the dipole resonances of the metasurface and the ENZ mode for modulating the reflectance of the metasurface. The hybrid structure we fabricate is similar to MOSCAP configuration where the complementary metasurface offers a continuous gold top layer for biasing and positive/negative bias to the metasurface leads to accumulation/depletion of carriers in the ENZ layer beneath it. We optimized our structure by using InGaAs as the ENZ material because of its high mobility and low effective mass. This allowed us to reduce the doping requirement and thereby reduce the ionized impurity scattering as well as the reverse bias required to deplete the ENZ layer. For low leakage and efficient modulation of carrier density, we used Hafnia as the gate dielectric. We further added a reflecting backplane below the ENZ layer to enhance the interaction and by applying bias, we achieved spectral shifts of 500 nm and amplitude modulation of 11% of one of the polariton branches at 14 µm.","PeriodicalId":346327,"journal":{"name":"Active Photonic Platforms X","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129434322","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Single to few layer flakes of Ti3C2Tx (in a solution dispersed form) are used to create a continuous film on a desired substrate by using spin coating technique. Losses inherent to the bulk MXene and existence of strong localized SP resonances in Ti3C2Tx disks/pillar-like nanostructures at near-IR frequencies are utilized to design an efficient broadband absorber. For Ti3C2Tx MXene disk array sitting on a bilayer stack of Au/Al2O3, high efficiency (>90%) absorption across visible to near-IR frequencies (bandwidth ~1.55 μm), is observed experimentally. \u0000\u0000We also experimentally study random lasing behavior in a metamaterial constructed by randomly dispersing single layer nanosheets of Ti3C2Tx into a gain medium (rhodamine 101, R101). Sharp lasing peaks are observed when the pump energy reaches the threshold value of ~ 0.70 μJ/pulse. This active metamaterial holds a great potential to achieve tunable random lasing by changing the optical properties of Ti3C2Tx flakes.","PeriodicalId":346327,"journal":{"name":"Active Photonic Platforms X","volume":"107 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122975749","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
