Active tunability of photonic resonances is of great interest for various applications such as optical switching and modulation based on optoelectronic materials. Manipulation of charged excitons in atomically thin transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) like monolayer MoS offers an unexplored route for diverse functionalities in optoelectronic nanodevices. Here, we experimentally demonstrate the dynamic photochemical and optoelectronic control of the photonic crystal Fano resonances by optical and electrical tuning of monolayer MoS refractive index via trions without any chemical treatment. The strong spatial and spectral overlap between the photonic Fano mode and the active MoS monolayer enables efficient modulation of the Fano resonance. Our approach offers new directions for potential applications in the development of optical modulators based on emerging 2D direct band gap semiconductors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
