Abstrakt: We report the first experimental observation of hyperbolic phonon polariton (HP) resonances in calcite nanopillars, demonstrate that the HP modes redshift with increasing aspect ratio (AR = 0.5 to 1.1), observe a new, possibly higher order mode as the pitch is reduced, and compare the results to both numerical simulations and an analytical model. This work shows that a wide variety of polar dielectric materials can support phonon polaritons by demonstrating HPs in a new material, which is an important first step towards creating a library of materials with the appropriate phonon properties to extend phonon polariton applications throughout the infrared.
