2D materials, in particular monolayers of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), exhibit unique optical and optoelectronic properties which are of high interest for applications. Some 2D TMDs are direct band gap semiconductors and can be used to both emit and detect light on the nanoscale. Moreover, they are highly nonlinear and can be modified to exhibit single photon emitters.Therefore, they are investigated as quantum light sources as well as for quantum simulators. As opposed to bulk semiconductors, 2D materials can be grown in scalable processes on standard optical materials such as silica or silicon. As a result, 2D materials present an excellent platform for nanoscale photonic components and will play a major role in future applications in optics.

In this workshop results from fundamental and applied research in photonic in 2D materials will be discussed.
