Strong light–matter interaction in 2D materials at the few-exciton level is important for both fundamental studies and quantum optical applications. Characterized by a fast coherent energy exchange between photons excitons, strongly coupled plasmon–exciton systems have been reported with large Rabi splitting. However, splitting generally requires fields highly confined mode volume, which are difficult to achieve in-plane excitons materials. In this work, we present study of gold dimer...

By controlling intercavity interaction and engineering phase response incorporation RBR with Mach-Zehnder interferometer, we show that it is possible to generate spectrum resembling electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT), qualitatively different compared other existing EIT schemes. The becomes sharper as...

Abstract Introducing super‐resolution techniques to imaging through scattering media potentially revolutionizes the technical analysis for many exotic applications, such as cell structures behind biological tissues. The main challenge is media's inhomogeneous structures, which scramble light path and create noise‐like speckle patterns, hindering object's visualization even at a low‐resolution level. Here, computational method proposed relying on spatial temporal fluctuation visualize...
Ultrahigh density nanostructure arrays with controlled size and position have promised a variety of potential applications.
