We discuss the recent progress on the dynamic control of tip-induced light-matter interactions, especially for the low dimensional quantum materials. This review is divided into three parts based on the type of tip-induced control, i.e., gap control of tip-cavity, tip-pressure control, and near-field polarization control.
Nonlocal metasurfaces with spatially varying geometries are modeled using a generalized coupled mode theory that operates in real space, enabling rapid numerical prototyping and insightful modeling of their spectro-spatial features.
The proposed visual remote sensing platform utilizes geometric phase encoding of stimuli-responsive cholesteric liquid crystal polymers to generate intuitive image signals, showcasing its proof of concept by real-time humidity monitoring.
A pioneer of DNA nanotechnology, Prof. Laura Na Liu from the University of Stuttgart in Germany, has been working at the interface, where nanophotonics meets biology and chemistry.
Operando monitoring of mass transport kinetics and lithium dendrite growth in lithium metal batteries and parametrization of the batteries’ electrochemistry and safety have been achieved using optical fiber sensors.
We achieve the first deterministic coupling of a topological corner state with a single quantum dot, observing Purcell enhancement and polarized single-photon emission. This extends the effect of higher-order topological phase into the quantum realm.
The Yb3+ emissions from both the quantum cutting and nearly-pure infrared upconversion and excellent temperature detection were realized in Er3+/Yb3+ co-doped NaY(WO4)2 phosphors.
A van der Waals complex with an internuclear distance of 0.39 nm is designed as a prototype system to track electron tunneling via neighboring atoms within a sub-nanometer scale.
A real-time photonic chip with fully integrated signal processing path and co-packaged electronics can effectively address dynamic RF interference with picosecond latency, benefiting applications like telecommunications and transportation.
