摘要

Phonon polaritons in anisotropic materials hold exceptional potential for manipulating light at the deep-subwavelength scale. In this study, we investigate the in-plane anisotropic phonon-polaritonic resonances in orthorhombic molybdenum trioxide (α-MoO3) nanostructures using scattering-type scanning near-field optical microscopy. By fabricating square-shaped resonators with varying crystallographic orientations, we experimentally demonstrate the tunability of phonon-polaritonic resonances in α-MoO3. Our findings reveal that the resonance frequency and interference patterns are strongly influenced by the structural alignment of the resonator. This study provides a pathway for nanoscale light confinement and control, offering valuable insights for advancing nanophotonic device engineering.
