Summary: This work proposes leveraging anisotropy in 2D materials to tailor modal fields in 2D material waveguides for the first time, improving efficiency of coupling-based photonic functions and expanding device capabilities. By regulating material absorption, modal fields of 2D modes can be tailored to localize around the waveguide center, enabling the implementation of 2D plasmonic circuits without relying on 3D layers.

Summary: Surface plasmons are the collective oscillation of electrons that can manipulate optical fields with unprecedented spatial and time resolutions. They have various applications in chemical/biological sensors and Raman scattering spectroscopy. The ultrafast optical response is a fundamental characteristic of surface plasmons, allowing for the study of photon-electron interactions. The plasmon-enhanced electric fields generated by focusing surface plasmons can reach the strong field regime with low input laser intensities.

Summary: This article introduces a planar nanostructure in magnetoplasmonics with enhanced transverse magneto-optical activity. It analyzes the magneto-structures containing both a metal layer and a linear array of nanorods and compares them with a conventional three-layer structure based on transverse magneto-optical Kerr effect. The results show significant improvement in the proposed structures, especially in refractive index sensitivity, making them suitable for biosensing applications. The idea presented here can be applied to other three-layer structures, leading to improvement in their magneto-optical activity and refractive index sensitivity.

Summary: A new multi-band absorber platform is proposed in this study, which can quantitatively adjust the resonant frequency and intensity using silicon resonators to achieve near 100% maximum absorptance. The operation wavelengths show a linear relationship to the resonator's height, and absorption efficiencies can be quantitatively controlled by the polarization angle of the incident light.

Summary: In this study, the optical properties of a 2D-gap surface plasmon metasurface composed of gold nanoblocks were investigated. The metasurface demonstrated the capability to generate simultaneous multi-plasmonic resonances and offered tunability within the near-infrared domain. Reflectance spectra were analyzed for various lattice periods, revealing two distinct dips with near-zero reflectance indicating resonant modes. The broader dip at 1150 nm exhibited consistent behavior across all lattice periodicities, attributed to a Fano-type hybridization mechanism.

Summary: By designing novel hybrid structures of SiO2 and Ag film, with stable properties and improved performance in the visible region, the absorption spectrum can be modulated by layer spacing to exhibit double absorption peaks. These hybrid structures show promise as valuable candidate materials in the fields of photosensitive detectors, thin-film solar cells, and optical switches.

Summary: The emergence of exceptional points in non-Hermitian systems provides possibilities for enhancing sensor sensitivity, but implementing subwavelength non-Hermitian systems remains a challenge. One potential solution is to use localized surface plasmon resonances, which enable large electromagnetic enhancement at the subwavelength scale. In this work, a novel sensing scheme based on exceptional points in a spoof plasmonic structure at microwave frequencies is proposed, demonstrating ultrahigh sensitivity and opening possibilities for compact sensors in the microwave, terahertz, and far-infrared regions.

Summary: The effects of composition and preparation conditions of palmierite-type K5Yb1-xEux(MoO4)(4) (KYEMO) compounds on their structural and luminescence properties were investigated. Three modifications, α-phase, β-phase, and γ-phase, were obtained and characterized. The luminescence characteristics of the KYEMO solid solutions were studied, and the influence of concentration and synthesis conditions on the luminescence intensities were observed. The K5Yb1-xEux(MoO4)(4) phosphors show great potential for near UV-WLEDs due to their structural and optoelectronic characteristics.

Summary: This study explores the possibility of controlling magnetic dipole emission using plasmonic cavities, and observes significant variations in the branching ratio of magnetic and electric dipole transitions with the thickness of the intermediate layer. Numerical simulations confirm the experimental results and predict modifications in the spontaneous emission spectrum and strong directionality of emission for small thicknesses of the intermediate layer.
