The layered insulator hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) is a critical substrate that brings out the exceptional intrinsic properties of two‐dimensional (2D) materials such as graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). In this work, the authors demonstrate how hBN slabs tuned to the correct thickness act as optical waveguides, enabling direct optical coupling of light emission from encapsulated...
2D Materials
In article number 2309777 by Samuel W. LaGasse and co‐workers, optical coupling of monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) to hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) slab waveguides is studied. The results provide a direct route for waveguide‐based interrogation of layered materials, as well as a way to integrate layered materials into future photonic devices at arbitrary positions whilst...
