Abstract
Topological insulators (TIs) are a new class of condensed matter system that host topologically protected surface states, leading to dissipationless electron transport. This intrinsic characteristic makes them potential candidate for quantum computing owing to their ability to preserve quantum coherence. Recently, these systems and the concept of topology have been embraced by the photonics community as well. In this work, we study the mid-infrared optical properties of high index (n~5.2) TI bismuth selenide (Bi2Se3) nanobeams (NBs), grown by chemical vapor deposition. Using Finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations and FTIR nanospectroscopy, we find that these NBs support size-tunable Mie-resonant modes across the infrared (~1-16 µm). Furthermore, polarized measurements reveal that the total optical response of these deep subwavelength NBs is composed of TE and TM resonant mode. Finally, near-filed studies are also carried out to understand the effect of topological phase.
