Abstract Electromagnetic field confinement is crucial for nanophotonic technologies, since it allows enhancing light–matter interactions, thus enabling light manipulation in deep sub‐wavelength scales. In the terahertz (THz) spectral range, radiation conventionally achieved with specially designed metallic structures—such as antennas or nanoslits—with large footprints due to rather long wavelengths of THz radiation. this context, phonon polaritons—light coupled lattice vibrations—in van der...

Structural anisotropy in crystals is crucial for controlling light propagation, particularly the infrared spectral regime where optical frequencies overlap with crystalline lattice resonances, enabling light-matter coupled quasiparticles called phonon polaritons (PhPs). Exploring PhPs anisotropic materials like hBN and MoO3 has led to advancements confinement manipulation. In a recent study, monoclinic crystal β-Ga2O3 (bGO) were shown exhibit strongly asymmetric propagation frequency...

Terahertz (THz) electromagnetic radiation is key to access collective excitations such as magnons (spins), plasmons (electrons), or phonons (atomic vibrations), thus bridging topics between optics and solid-state physics. Confinement of THz light the nanometer length scale desirable for local probing in low-dimensional systems, thereby circumventing large footprint inherently low spectral power density far-field radiation. For that purpose, phonon polaritons (PhPs) anisotropic van der Waals...

The terahertz (THz) frequency range is key to studying collective excitations in many crystals and organic molecules. However, due the large wavelength of THz radiation, local probing these smaller crystalline structures or few-molecule arrangements requires sophisticated methods confine light down nanometer length scale, as well manipulate such a confined radiation. For this purpose, recent years, taking advantage hyperbolic phonon polaritons (HPhPs) highly anisotropic van der Waals (vdW)...

We report terahertz (THz)-pump/mid-infrared probe near-field studies on Si-doped GaAs–InGaAs core–shell nanowires utilizing THz radiation from the free-electron laser FELBE. Upon excitation of free carriers, we observe a red shift plasma resonance in both amplitude and phase spectra, which attribute to heating electrons conduction band. The simulation heated electron distributions anticipates significant population L- X-valleys. two-temperature model is utilized for quantitative analysis...
