| الوصف: | Photonics has been revolutionized by breakthroughs in optical metasurfaces and layered two-dimensional materials. Yet, integrating these two fields in a singular system has remained challenging. Here, we introduce the concept of van der Waals (vdW) heterostructure metasurfaces, where ultrathin multilayer vdW material stacks are shaped into precisely engineered resonant nanostructures for boosting light-matter interactions. By leveraging quasi-bound states in the continuum to create intrinsic cavities from WS$_2$ monolayers encapsulated in hexagonal boron nitride, we observe room-temperature strong coupling and polaritonic luminescence, which further unveils a saturation of the strong-coupling regime at ultralow fluences <1 nJ/cm2, more than three orders of magnitude smaller than in previous 2D-cavity systems. Our approach, seamlessly merging metasurfaces and vdW materials, unlocks new avenues for ultrathin optical devices with atomic-scale precision and control.
