Two-dimensional semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) are extremely attractive materials for optoelectronic applications in the visible and near-IR range. Here, we address for the first time to the best of our knowledge the issue of resonance coupling in hybrid exciton-polariton structures based on single Si nanoparticles coupled to monolayer WS2. We predict a transition from weak to strong coupling regime , with a Rabi splitting energy exceeding 200 meV for a Si nanoparticle covered by monolayer WS 2 at the magnetic optical Mie resonance. This large transition is achieved due to the symmetry of magnetic dipole Mie mode and by changing the surrounding dielectric material from air to water. The prediction is based on the experimental estimation of TMDC dipole moment variation obtained from measured photoluminescence (PL) spectra of WS2 monolayers in different solvents. An ability of such a system to tune the resonance coupling is realized experimentally for optically resonant spherical Si nanoparticles placed on a WS2 monolayer. The Rabi splitting energy obtained for this scenario increases from 49.6 meV to 86.6 meV after replacing air by water. Our findings pave the way to develop high-efficiency optoelectronic, nanophotonic and quantum optical devices.

Strong spatial confinement and highly reduced dielectric screening provide monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) with strong many-body effects, thereby possessing optically forbidden excitonic states (i.e., dark excitons) at room tempera ture. Herein, we explore the interaction of surface plasmons with dark excitons in hybrid systems consisting of stacked gold nanotriangles (AuNTs) and monolayer WS2. We observe a narrow Fano resonance when the hybrid system is surrounded by water, and we attribute the narrowing of the spectral Fano linewidth to the plasmon-enhanced decay of dark K-K excitons. Our results reveal that dark excitons in monolayer WS2 can strongly modify Fano resonances in hybrid plasmon-exciton systems and can be harnessed for novel optical sensors and active nanophotonic devices.
Excitons in monolayer transition-metal-dichalcogenides (TMDs) dominate their optical response and exhibit strong light-matter interactions with lifetime-limited emission. While various approaches have been applied to enhance light-exciton interaction s in TMDs, the achieved strength have been far below unity, and a complete picture of its underlying physical mechanisms and fundamental limits has not been provided. Here, we introduce a TMD-based van der Waals heterostructure cavity that provides near-unity excitonic absorption, and emission of excitonic complexes that are observed at ultra-low excitation powers. Our results are in full agreement with a quantum theoretical framework introduced to describe the light-exciton-cavity interaction. We find that the subtle interplay between the radiative, non-radiative and dephasing decay rates plays a crucial role, and unveil a universal absorption law for excitons in 2D systems. This enhanced light-exciton interaction provides a platform for studying excitonic phase-transitions and quantum nonlinearities and enables new possibilities for 2D semiconductor-based optoelectronic devices.
Surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is optically sensitive and chemically specific to detect single molecule spectroscopic signatures. Facilitating this capability in optically-trapped nanoparticles at low laser power remains a significant chall enge. In this letter, we show single molecule SERS signatures in reversible assemblies of trapped plasmonic nanoparticles using a single laser excitation (633 nm). Importantly, this trap is facilitated by the thermoplasmonic field of a single gold nanoparticle dropcasted on a glass surface. We employ bi-analyte SERS technique to ascertain the single molecule statistical signatures, and identify the critical parameters of the thermoplasmonic tweezer that provide this sensitivity. Furthermore, we show the utility of this low power ($approx$0.1 mW/$mu$m^2) tweezer platform to trap single gold nanoparticle and transport assembly of nanoparticles. Given that our configuration is based on a dropcasted gold nanoparticle, we envisage its utility to create reconfigurable plasmonic metafluids in physiological and catalytic environments, and can be potentially adapted as an in-vivo plasmonic tweezer.
Coherent perfect absorber (CPA) was proposed as the time-reversed counterpart to laser: a resonator containing lossy medium instead of gain medium can absorb the coherent optical fields completely. Here, we exploit a monolayer graphene to realize the CPA in a non-resonant manner. It is found that quasi-CPA point exists in the terahertz regime for suspending monolayer graphene, and the CPA can be implemented with the assistant of proper phase modulation among two incident beams at the quasi-CPA frequencies. The graphene based CPA is found of broadband angular selectivity: CPA point splits into two frequency bands for the orthogonal $s$ and $p$ polarizations at oblique incidence, and the two bands cover a wide frequency range starting from zero frequency. Furthermore, the coherent absorption can be tuned substantially by varying the gate-controlled Fermi energy. The findings of CPA with non-resonant graphene sheet can be generalized for potential applications in terahertz/infrared detections and signal processing with two-dimensional optoelectronic materials.
We demonstrate the real-time exciton-manipulation of plexcitonic coupling in monolayer WS2 coupled to a plasmonic nanocavity by immersing into a mixed solution of dichloromethane (DCM) and ethanol. By adjusting the mixture ratio, a continuous tuning of the Rabi splitting energy ranged from 178 meV (in ethanol) to 266 meV (in DCM) is achieved. The results are mainly attributed to the remarkable increase of the proportion of neutral exciton in the monolayer WS2 (from 59% to 100%) as the concentration of DCM is increased. It offers an important stepping stone towards a further study of plexcitonic coupling in layered materials, along with potential applications in quantum information processing and nonlinear optical materials.
