However, most research has focused on the mid-infrared spectrum, leaving its properties and applications in the visible and near-infrared light spectrum less explored. This study advances the understanding of waveguiding properties of α-MoO_(3) by near-field imaging of the waveguide modes along the [100] and [001] directions of α-MoO_(3) flakes at 633 nm and 785 nm. We investigate the effects of flake thickness and documented the modes' dispersion relationships, which is crucial for tailoring the optical responses of α-MoO_(3) in device applications. Our findings enhance the field of research into α-MoO_(3), highlighting its utility in fabricating next-generation optoelectronic devices due to its unique optically anisotropic waveguide.展开更多
