Routing valley exciton emission of a WS₂ monolayer via delocalized Bloch modes of in-plane inversion-symmetry-broken photonic crystal slabs.

ABSTRACT: The valleys of two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) offer a new degree of freedom for information processing. To take advantage of this valley degree of freedom, on the one hand, it is feasible to control valleys by utilizing different external stimuli, such as optical and electric fields. On the other hand, nanostructures are also used to separate the valleys by near-field coupling. However, for both of the above methods, either the required low-temperature environment or low degree of coherence properties limit their further applications. Here, we demonstrate that all-dielectric photonic crystal (PhC) slabs without in-plane inversion symmetry (C₂ symmetry) can separate and route valley exciton emission of a WS₂ monolayer at room temperature.
