Condensed matter physics concerns low energy scale in meV range. Infrared photons carry the ideal energy to probe the exotic physics in low-dimensional quantum material systems. Meanwhile, studying light-matter interactions inspires novel optoelectronic devices that show advantages (such as performance, tunability, flexibility, etc.) over existing technologies.
