They introduce a promising approach to optically manipulate robust transient hyperbolic plasmons in the layered semiconductor black phosphorus using a dedicated ultrafast nanoscopy scheme. Optical pumping allows the BP\u2019s IFCs to topologically transit from the pristine ellipsoid to the non-equilibrium hyperboloid, exhibiting exotic non-equilibrium hyperbolic plasmon properties, such as the optically tunable plasmonic dispersion and the coexistence of different transient plasmonic modes. *<\/p>\n
Their work also demonstrates the peculiar transient plasmonic properties of the studied layered semiconductor, such as the ultrafast transition, low propagation losses, efficient optical emission from the black phosphorus\u2019s edges, and the characterization of different transient plasmon modes. *<\/p>\n
The results that Rao Fu et al. present may be relevant for the development of future optoelectronic applications. *<\/p>\n
NanoWorld\u00ae ARROW-NCPt<\/a> AFM probes with a Pt\/Ir coating were used for the characterization with ultrafast nanoscopy. The pump and probe pulses were spatially overlapped on the Platinum\/Iridium coated Arrow probe<\/a> through a parabolic mirror of a commercial scattering-type scanning near-field optical microscope. *<\/p>\n *Rao Fu, Yusong Qu, Mengfei Xue, Xinghui Liu, Shengyao Chen, Yongqian Zhao, Runkun Chen, Boxuan Li, Hongming Weng, Qian Liu, Qing Dai and Jianing Chen Please follow this external link to read the full article: https:\/\/rdcu.be\/dBD85<\/a><\/p>\n The article \u201cManipulating hyperbolic transient plasmons in a layered semiconductor<\/em>\u201d by Rao Fu, Yusong Qu, Mengfei Xue, Xinghui Liu, Shengyao Chen, Yongqian Zhao, Runkun Chen, Boxuan Li, Hongming Weng, Qian Liu, Qing Dai and Jianing Chen is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License, which permits use, sharing, adaptation, distribution and reproduction in any medium or format, as long as you give appropriate credit to the original author(s) and the source, provide a link to the Creative Commons license, and indicate if changes were made.
