摘要

Abstract

The topological features of optical vortices have been opening opportunities for free-space and on‑chip photonic technologies

e.g.

for multiplexed optical communications and robust information transport. In a parallel but disjoint effort

polar anisotropic van der Waals nanomaterials supporting hyperbolic phonon polaritons (HP

s) have been leveraged to drastically boost light‑matter interactions. So far HP

studies have been mainly focusing on the control of their amplitude and scale features. Here we repor

t the generation and observation of mid‑infrared hyperbolic polariton vortices (HP

Vs) associated with reconfigurable topological charges. Spiral‑shaped gold disks coated with a flake of hexagonal boron nitride are exploited to tailor spin–orbit interactions and realise deeply subwavelength HP

Vs.The complex interplay between excitation spin

spiral geometry and HP

dispersion enables robust reconfigurability of the associated topological charges. Our results reveal unique opportunities to extend the application of HP

s into topological photonics

quantum information processing by integrating these phenomena with single‑photon emitters

robust on‑chip optical applications

sensing and nanoparticle manipulation.
