Enhanced light-matter coupling and single-photon emission of atomically thin semiconductors — •Rudolf Bratschitsch — Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster, Münster, Deutschland
Graphene is known as a prototypical two-dimensional material with unique physical properties. However, the difficulty of creating an optical band gap stimulated the search for other monolayer materials. In my talk I will show that atomically thin transition metal dichalcogenides serve as a promising new material class for opto-electronics and quantum optics [1-3]. In particular, I will explain, how gold nanoantennas may be used to increase the light-monolayer coupling and present single-photon emission from localized excitons in monolayer WSe2.
