Design and Application of Functional Mid-IR Metasurfaces for Enhanced Light-Matter Interaction and Sensing

Metasurfaces, planar arrays of subwavelength resonators, have emerged as powerful tools for versatile light manipulation in compact formats across different spectral ranges. Among these, the mid-infrared (mid-IR) is uniquely characterized by its interactio ...

Chirality encoding in resonant metasurfaces governed by lattice symmetries

Hatice Altug, Felix Ulrich Richter

Chiral metasurfaces provide invaluable tools for controlling structured light required for biosensing, photochemistry, holography, and quantum photonics. Here we suggest and realize a universal strategy for engineering chiral response of resonant metasurfa ...

Gradient High-Q Dielectric Metasurfaces for Broadband Sensing and Control of Vibrational Light-Matter Coupling

Hatice Altug, Felix Ulrich Richter, Aleksandrs Leitis

Surface-enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy (SEIRA) has emerged as a powerful technique for ultrasensitive chemical-specific analysis. SEIRA can be realized by employing metasurfaces that can enhance light-matter interactions in the spectral bands of ...

Spectral Tuning of High-Harmonic Generation with Resonance-Gradient Metasurfaces

Hatice Altug, Felix Ulrich Richter

High-index dielectric subwavelength structures and metasurfaces are capable of enhancing light-matter interaction by orders of magnitude via geometry-dependent optical resonances. This enhancement, however, comes with a fundamental limitation of a narrow s ...

Metasurface-Enhanced Infrared Spectroscopy: An Abundance of Materials and Functionalities

Hatice Altug, Felix Ulrich Richter, Andreas Tittl, Aurélian Michel John-Herpin

Infrared spectroscopy provides unique information on the composition and dynamics of biochemical systems by resolving the characteristic absorption fingerprints of their constituent molecules. Based on this inherent chemical specificity and the capability ...

Rainbow dielectric metasurfaces for tunable resonant generation of high harmonics

Hatice Altug, Felix Ulrich Richter

We design high-Q metasurfaces with resonant wavelengths in mid-IR varying continuously along the sample. We demonstrate tunable rainbow generation of high harmonics as we vary the pump wavelength and the coordinate along the metasurface. ...

Dielectric Tetramer Nanoresonators Supporting Strong Superchiral Fields for Vibrational Circular Dichroism Spectroscopy

Hatice Altug, Felix Ulrich Richter, Yasaman Jahani, Rui Lu, Bang Hyun Lee, Ming-Lun Tseng, Longfang Ye

Chirality (C) is a fundamental property of objects, in terms of symmetry. It is extremely important to sense and distinguish chiral molecules in the fields of biochemistry, science, and medicine. Vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectroscopy, obtained ...
