When studying low-dimensional materials, it often becomes important to confine and localize light to length scales beyond the diffraction limit so as to strengthen light-matter interactions. We design and fabricate photonic resonators and cavities that are able to concentrate electromagnetic fields into subwavelength volumes for enhanced near field interactions.
