Chemical switching of low-loss phonon polaritons in α-MoO3 by hydrogen intercalation

Phonon polaritons hold promises for nanophotonic applications but external control of phonon polaritons remains challenging. Here, the authors achieve reversible and non-volatile switching of phonon polariton by modifying crystal structure and lattice vibrations via hydrogenation.
