To date, PhPs with high confinement and low loss are mainly observed in the mid‐infrared regime and mostly in manually exfoliated flakes of van der Waals (vdW) materials. In this work, the existence of low‐loss, thickness‐tunable phonon polaritons in the far‐infrared regime within transferable freestanding SrTiO 3 membranes synthesized through a scalable approach, achieving high figures of merit is demonstrated, which are comparable to the previous record values from the vdW materials. Leveraging atomic precision in thickness control, large dimensions, and compatibility with mature oxide electronics, functional oxide membranes present a promising large‐scale 2D platform alternative to vdW materials for on‐chip polaritonic technologies in the infrared regime.}, journal={Advanced Functional Materials}, author={Koons, Konnor and Bechtel, Hans A. and Taboada‐Gutiérrez, Javier and Ghanbari, Reza and Wang, Yueyin and Corder, Stephanie N.
