Active tunability of photonic resonances is of great interest for various applications such as optical switching and modulation based on optoelectronic materials. Manipulation of charged excitons in atomically thin transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) like monolayer MoS2 offers an unexplored route for diverse functionalities in optoelectronic nanodevices. Here, we experimentally demonstrate the dynamic photochemical and optoelectronic control of the photonic crystal Fano resonances by optical and electrical tuning of monolayer MoS2 refractive index via trions without any chemical treatment. The strong spatial and spectral overlap between the photonic Fano mode and the active MoS2 monolayer enables efficient modulation of the Fano resonance. Our approach offers new directions for potential applications in the development of optical modulators based on emerging 2D direct band gap semiconductors.
