However, these polaritons present a crucial limitation: their directional propagation is intrinsically determined by the crystal structure of the host material, imposing forbidden directions of propagation. Here, we demonstrate that directional polaritons (in-plane hyperbolic phonon polaritons) in a vdW crystal (α-phase molybdenum trioxide) can be directed along forbidden directions by inducing an optical topological transition, which emerges when the slab is placed on a substrate with a given negative permittivity (4H–silicon carbide). By visualizing the transition in real space, we observe exotic polaritonic states between mutually orthogonal hyperbolic regimes, which unveil the topological origin of the transition: a gap opening in the dispersion. This work provides insights into optical topological transitions in vdW crystals, which introduce a route to direct light at the nanoscale.","lang":"eng"}],"issue":"14","article_type":"original","publication":"Science Advances","citation":{"mla":"Duan, J., et al. “Enabling Propagation of Anisotropic Polaritons along Forbidden Directions via a Topological Transition.” Science Advances, vol. 7, no. 14, eabf2690, AAAS, 2021, doi:10.1126/sciadv.abf2690.","short":"J.
