In recent years, two-dimensional van der Waals (2-D vdW) materials have emerged as promising platforms for realizing reconfigurable optoelectronic devices. Compared to materials with bulk crystalline lattice, 2-D vdW materials offer superior electrical reconfigurability due to high surface-to-volume ratio, quantum confinement, reduced dielectric screening effect, and strong dipole resonances. Additionally, their unique band structures and associated topology and quantum geometry provide novel tuning capabilities.

Recent utilization of transferred thin-film LN (TFLN) on various substrates has enabled high-performance microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) devices. For mmWave applications, TFLN supports an assortment of acoustic modes with large electromechanical coupling (<em>k</em>^<em>2</em>), high quality factors (<em>Q</em>), and great frequency scalability. These features have led to significant recent performance enhancements in low-loss and wideband resonators and filters using TFLN. More specifically, acoustic resonators between 18 and 100 GHz have been demonstrated with low loss, compact form factors, and strong piezoelectric coupling. Acoustic filters have also been shown at mmWave frequency ranges, beyond the conventional sub-6 GHz operating range, toward addressing the stringent demands of future wireless communication systems. The review starts by analyzing the background and challenges of frequency scaling incumbent acoustic technologies, then introduces the unique potentials of TFLN platforms for mmWave resonator applications, highlighting fabrication techniques and novel device architecture. Beyond this, periodically poled piezoelectric film (P3F) LN is highlighted. The multi-layer structure with alternating orientations in adjacent layers enables high figure of merit (FoM = <em>k</em>^<em>2</em><em>∙Q</em>) acoustic devices at mmWave, efficiently coupling electrical and mechanical energy while minimizing damping in thicker film stacks.

Those efficiencies can be improved through the efforts of upgrading material quality and optimizing device design. When such an improvement reaches a limit in considering the technological difficulty and/or fabrication cost, other means based on nano-photonics techniques deserve consideration. In particular, due to the development of the nano-fabrication technology and the trend of shrinking device dimension, those techniques based on near-field interactions are attractive. Among them, surface plasmon (SP) coupling is a powerful method for enhancing the emission and absorption efficiencies. Also, when color conversion is needed, the Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) is an effective approach for transferring energy from a donor into an acceptor within a short range. In this paper, the basic principles, the fundamental behaviors, and the applications to the enhancements of light emission and color conversion of SP coupling are reviewed. The SP coupling here is referred to as that not strong enough to produce the phenomenon of Rabi splitting. For effective color conversion, the combined effects of FRET and SP coupling are also discussed. Meanwhile, the nanoscale-cavity effect is introduced to combine with FRET and SP coupling for further enhancing the emission and color conversion efficiencies. The review starts with the behaviors of the SP resonances of metal nanostructures, particularly those of metal nanoparticles (NPs), including deposited surface metal NP and chemically synthesized metal NP, due to their easy fabrication, low cost, and strong localized SP resonance. Among the metals with the negative real parts of dielectric constants for inducing SP resonances in the ultraviolet through near-infrared spectral range, Ag is the major concern in this review because of its high SP resonance strength and low dissipation. SP coupling can be understood as a process of the energy transfer from a light emitter into an SP resonance mode for creating an alternative emission channel, i.e., the coherent SP radiation. A model and a derivative simulation algorithm, which take the Purcell effect into account, are reviewed for interpreting experimental observations. SP coupling can be used for improving the performances of a light-emitting diode (LED), including the enhancements of internal quantum efficiency and electroluminescence intensity, the reduction of the efficiency droop effect, the increase of modulation bandwidth, and the generation of partially polarized light in an LED. SP coupling can also be used for increasing the efficiency of a color conversion process. In such a process, the energy donor, acceptor, and metal nanostructure can be coupled together through an SP resonance mode around the donor emission or acceptor absorption wavelength for forming a three-body coupling system. Such a coupling proce","PeriodicalId":414,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Quantum Electronics","volume":"99 ","pages":"Article 100553"},"PeriodicalIF":7.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142967787","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
