Title: Low dissipation spectral filtering using a field-effect tunable III–V hybrid metasurface

Considering the power constrained scaling of silicon complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor technology, the use of high mobility III–V compound semiconductors such as In0.53Ga0.47As in conjunction with high-κ dielectrics is becoming a promising option for future n-type metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect-transistors. Development of low dissipation field-effect tunable III–V based photonic devices integrated with high-κ dielectrics is therefore very appealing from a technological perspective. In this work, we present an experimental realization of a monolithically integrable, field-effect-tunable, III–V hybrid metasurface operating at long-wave-infrared spectral bands. Here, our device relies on strong light-matter coupling between epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) modes of an ultra-thin In0.53Ga0.47As layer and the dipole resonances of a complementary plasmonic metasurface.
