Control of light polarization by voltage in excitonic metasurface devices

We propose active metasurface devices where the state of emitted light is controlled by voltage. Based on the simulations of expected emission spectra, we present the concept of a light emitting device with the voltage controlled wavelength and degree of linear polarization of emission. The device c...

Description
Summary:We propose active metasurface devices where the state of emitted light is controlled by voltage. Based on the simulations of expected emission spectra, we present the concept of a light emitting device with the voltage controlled wavelength and degree of linear polarization of emission. The device combines the ability of metasurfaces to control light with a wavelength-tunable light source based on indirect excitons in coupled quantum well heterostructures.
