Abstract
Phonon-polaritons (PhPs) arise from the strong coupling of photons to optical phonons. They offer light confinement and harnessing below the diffraction limit for applications including sensing, imaging, superlensing, and photonics-based communications. However, structures consisting of both suspended and supported hyperbolic materials on periodic dielectric substrates are yet to be explored. Here we investigate phonon-polaritonic crystals (PPCs) that incorporate hyperbolic hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) to a silicon-based photonic crystal. By using the near-field excitation in scattering-type scanning near-field optical microscopy (s-SNOM), we resolved two types of repetitive local field dis..
