Tracing terahertz plasmon polaritons with a tunable-by-design dispersion in topological insulator metaelements

Light Publishing Center, Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics And Physics, CAS
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Researchers have found a new way to control special light waves—called Dirac plasmon polaritons—in ultra-thin quantum materials known as topological insulators. By adjusting the spacing between tiny nanostructures made from Bi₂Se₃, they can fine-tune how these waves travel at terahertz frequencies. This breakthrough allows for more precise, lower-loss control of light at the nanoscale, paving the way for next-generation advanced plasmonic THz devices.
