Abstract:

Generalized Brewster angle (GBA) is the incidence angle at polarization by reflection for p- or s-polarized light takes place. Realizing s-polarization Brewster effect requires a material with magnetic response which is challenging at optical frequencies since the magnetic response of materials at these frequencies is extremely weak. Here, we experimentally realize GBA effect in the visible using a thin-film absorber system consisting of a dielectric film on an absorbing substrate. Polarization by reflection is realized for both p- and s- polarized light at different angles of incidence and multiple wavelengths. We provide a theoretical framework for the generalized Brewster effect in thin-film light absorbers. We demonstrate hydrogen gas sensing using a single layer graphene film transferred on a thin-film absorber at the GBA with ~1 fg/mm2 aerial mass sensitivity. The ultrahigh sensitivity stems from the strong phase sensitivity near point-of-darkness, particularly at the GBA, and the strong light-matter interaction in planar nanocavities. These findings depart from the traditional domain of thin-films as mere interference optical coatings and highlight its many potential applications including gas sensing and biosensing.
