Unidirectional Doubly Enhanced MoS₂ Emission via Photonic Fano Resonances

Atomically thin transition metal dichalcogenides like MoS₂ monolayers exhibit unique luminescent properties. However, weak quantum yield and low light absorption hinder their practical applications in two-dimensional light emitting devices. Here, we report 1300 times enhancement in photoluminescence emission from a MoS₂ monolayer via simultaneous Fano resonances in a dielectric photonic crystal. The spatially extended double Fano resonance scheme allows resonant enhancement of both the MoS₂ absorption and emission. We also achieve unidirectional emission within a narrow divergence angle of 5° by engineering the Fano resonance angular dispersion. Our approach provides a new platform for efficient light sources with high directionality based on emerging two-dimensional materials.
