    Hyperspectral Imaging of Exciton Polaritons in Optical Microcavities
    (Amer Chemical Soc, 2024) Polat, Nahit; Yakar, Ozan; O''zdemir, Sahin K.; Balci, Sinan
    Photons can be confined in optical microcavities both spectrally and spatially, which allows us to study the light-matter interaction in both weak and strong coupling regimes. While the former is identified by the Purcell factor, which quantifies the suppression or enhancement of the spontaneous emission rate of the quantum emitters coupled to the cavity modes, the latter is identified by the formation of hybrid photon-matter modes called exciton polaritons and thus represents an avoided crossing in the spectra. Until now, various imaging and spectroscopic techniques have been extensively used to study exciton polariton formation in optical microcavities, and the coupling between excitons and photons has been statically and dynamically tuned. Herein, we demonstrate the hyperspectral imaging of exciton polaritons in optical microcavities. Two thin metal films acting as reflectors and a polymer matrix containing a collection of quantum emitters form a hybrid system for polariton imaging. We show a strong exciton-photon interaction between photons confined in the microcavity and Frenkel excitons of dye molecules placed inside the optical microcavity. We find that exciton polaritons can be imaged and spatially mapped in the optical microcavity by using hyperspectral imaging in the visible region. We envision that our findings will help us to understand exciton polariton formation in the spectral and spatial domains at the same time across different coupling regimes.

    Graphene-Based Adaptive Thermal Camouflage
    (American Chemical Society, 2018) Salihoğlu, Ömer; Uzlu, Hasan Burkay; Yakar, Ozan; Aas, Shahnaz; Balcı, Osman; Kakenov, Nurbek; Balcı, Sinan; Olçum, Selim; Süzer, Şefik; Kocabaş, Coşkun
    In nature, adaptive coloration has been effectively utilized for concealment and signaling. Various biological mechanisms have evolved to tune the reflectivity for visible and ultraviolet light. These examples inspire many artificial systems for mimicking adaptive coloration to match the visual appearance to their surroundings. Thermal camouflage, however, has been an outstanding challenge which requires an ability to control the emitted thermal radiation from the surface. Here we report a new class of active thermal surfaces capable of efficient real-time electrical-control of thermal emission over the full infrared (IR) spectrum without changing the temperature of the surface. Our approach relies on electro-modulation of IR absorptivity and emissivity of multilayer graphene via reversible intercalation of nonvolatile ionic liquids. The demonstrated devices are light (30 g/m2), thin (<50 μm), and ultraflexible, which can conformably coat their environment. In addition, by combining active thermal surfaces with a feedback mechanism, we demonstrate realization of an adaptive thermal camouflage system which can reconfigure its thermal appearance and blend itself with the varying thermal background in a few seconds. Furthermore, we show that these devices can disguise hot objects as cold and cold ones as hot in a thermal imaging system. We anticipate that, the electrical control of thermal radiation would impact on a variety of new technologies ranging from adaptive IR optics to heat management for outer space applications.
