Integrating 2D crystals and waveguide circuits: Active components and versatile exciton spectroscopy (W02)

在W02项目中，我们将探索过渡金属二硫族化合物（TMDCs）独特的激子特性，通过在载流子芯片内建立TMDCs与激光写入自由形状光通路之间的定制近表面相互作用。在此过程中开发的基本见解和技术进步将使我们能够整合tmdc增强波导并表征其增强的光学非线性，以及由其吸收和光学增益介导的非厄米动力学。我们的项目旨在为利用二维材料作为新型先进光子电路的功能元件铺平道路。

In project W02, we will explore previously inaccessible features of the unique excitonic properties of transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) by establishing tailored near-surface interactions between TMDCs and laser-written freeform optical pathways within a carrier chip. The fundamental insights and technological advances developed in the process will allow us to incorporate TMDC-augmented waveguides and characterize their enhanced optical nonlinearity, as well as the non-Hermitian dynamics mediated by their absorption and optical gain. Our project intends to pave the way towards harnessing two-dimensional materials as functional elements in a new class of advanced photonic circuitry.
