Electrical detection of hyperbolic phonon-polaritons in heterostructures of graphene and boron nitride

Optoelectronics: guided hyperbolic phonon-polaritons in h-BN boost mid-infrared graphene photodetectors h-BN hyperbolic phonon-polaritons can be probed electrically in a van der Waals photodetector by guiding them towards a graphene junction. A team led by F.H.L. Koppens at ICFO developed a nano-opt...
