Reflection of two-dimensional surface polaritons by metallic nano-plates on atomically thin crystals.

ABSTRACT: Owning to their unusual optical properties, such as electrical tunability and strong spatial confinement, two-dimensional surface polaritons (2DSPs) hold great promise for deep sub-wavelength manipulation of light in a reduced low-dimensional space. Control of 2DSPs is possible by using their interaction with a boundary between two media, similar to how light behaves in three-dimensional (3D) space. The understanding of the interaction in the 2D case is still in its early stages, unlike the 3D case, as in-depth investigations are only available in a few cases including the interaction of 2DSPs with structured 2D crystals. Here, we extend the scope of our understanding to the interaction of 2DSPs with metallic nano-plates on 2D crystals, focusing on the reflection of 2DSPs. Through our rigo
