Overview

This research demonstrates improved Q-factors in optical antennas using epsilon-near-zero materials, highlighting dynamic reconfigurability and enhanced light-matter interactions.

Key Points

  • Significantly enhanced Q-factors exceeding 100 were achieved through the embedding of Mie resonators in epsilon-near-zero media, improving light-matter interactions.
  • Three resonator configurations were introduced, including voids in AlN and intrinsic InSb in doped InSb, showcasing versatility for various optical applications.
  • Dynamic reconfigurability was demonstrated in intrinsic InSb resonators by thermally tuning the ENZ wavelength over a range of 2 μm in the mid-infrared wavelength regime.
  • These findings advance the use of high-Q optical devices for applications in high-fidelity sensors and reconfigurable metasurfaces, while addressing fabrication challenges.
