    Schematic diagram of the multilayer structure consisting of two different Bragg mirrors and a monolayer MoS2 sandwiched in the Bragg mirrors. The thicknesses of Si3N4 and SiO2 layers are denoted by al and bl (ar and br) for the left (right) Bragg mirror, respectively. The period numbers of the left and right Bragg mirrors are Pl and Pr, respectively. The light is incident from the left side of the structure.
