Here, we demonstrate that a similar concept can be extended to the optics realm, particularly to propagating phonon polaritons–hybrid light-matter interactions. To do this, we fabricate stacks composed of two twisted slabs of a vdW crystal (α-MoO3) supporting anisotropic phonon polaritons (PhPs), and image the propagation of the latter when launched by localized sources. Our images reveal that, under a critical angle, the PhPs isofrequency curve undergoes a topological transition, in which the propagation of PhPs is strongly guided (canalization regime) along predetermined directions without geometric spreading. These results demonstrate a new degree of freedom (twist angle) for controlling the propagation of polaritons at the nanoscale with potential for nanoimaging, (bio)-sensing, or heat management.","lang":"eng"}],"quality_controlled":"1","intvolume":" 20","publisher":"American Chemical Society","title":"Twisted nano-optics: Manipulating light at the nanoscale with twisted phonon polaritonic slabs","publication_status":"published","external_id":{"isi":["000548893200082"],"arxiv":["2004.14599"],"pmid":["32530634"]},"date_created":"2022-03-18T11:37:38Z","user_id":"c635000d-4b10-11ee-a964-aac5a93f6ac1","issue":"7","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"date_published":"2020-07-01T00:00:00Z"}
