Plasmonic antenna coupling to hyperbolic phonon-polaritons for sensitive and fast mid-infrared photodetection with graphene

A significant challenge of infrared (IR) photodetectors is to funnel light into a small nanoscale active area and efficiently convert it into an electrical signal. Here, the authors couple a plasmonic antenna to hyperbolic phonon-polaritons in hexagonal-BN to highly concentrate mid-IR light into a g...
