Abstract
Optical properties of chalcogenide topological insulators (TIs), namely, Bi2Se3 (BS) and Bi2Te3 (BT) were studied across the NIR to MIR spectral ranges. In this spectral range, the experimentally measured optical constants revealed an extremely high permittivity values amounting to refractive indices as high as n≈11 and n≈6.4, for BT and BS respectively. These ultra-high index values were then utilized for demonstrating ultracompact, deep-subwavelength nanostructures (NSs), with unit cell sizes down to ~λ/10. Finally, using scattering-type Scanning Near-field Optical Microscopy (s-SNOM), local variations in the optical constants of these nanostructured TIs were studied. Nanoscale phase mapping on a BS NS revealed the role of the imaginary component of the refractive index in the observed phase shifts, varying from as low as ~0.37π to a maximum of ~2π radians across a resonance. This work thus highlights the potential of TIs as a low-loss, high index material for ultracompact nanophotonics.
