Efficient nanophotonic devices are essential for applications in quantumnetworking, optical information processing, sensing, and nonlinear optics.Extensive research efforts have focused on integrating two-dimensional (2D)materials into photonic structures, but this integration is often limited bysize and material quality. Here, we use hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), abenchmark choice for encapsulating atomically thin materials, as a waveguidinglayer while simultaneously improving the optical quality of the embedded films.When combined with photonic inverse design, it becomes a complete nanophotonicplatform to interface with optically active 2D materials. Grating couplers andlow-loss waveguides provide optical interfacing and routing, tunable cavitiesprovide a large exciton-photon coupling to transition metal dichalcogenides(TMD) monolayers through Purcell enhancement, and metasurfaces enable theefficient detection of TMD dark excitons. This work paves the way for advanced2D-material nanophotonic structures for classical and quantum nonlinear optics.
