Suppressing material loss in the visible and near-infrared range for functional nanophotonics using bandgap engineering

Large absorption of high-index semiconductors has hindered the application of all dielectric nanostructures in the visible range. Here, the authors present bandgap-engineered hydrogenated amorphous Si nanoparticles with Q-factors up to 100 and their integration with photochromic molecules as tunable...
