Giant nonlinear optical activity in a plasmonic metamaterial.
In 1950, a quarter of a century after his first-ever nonlinear optical experiment when intensity-dependent absorption was observed in uranium-doped glass, Sergey Vavilov predicted that birefringence, dichroism and polarization rotatory power should be dependent on light intensity. It required the invention of the laser to observe the barely detectable effect of light intensity on the polarizati...
متن کاملNanomechanical electro-optical modulator based on atomic heterostructures
Two-dimensional atomic heterostructures combined with metallic nanostructures allow one to realize strong light-matter interactions. Metallic nanostructures possess plasmonic resonances that can be modulated by graphene gating. In particular, spectrally narrow plasmon resonances potentially allow for very high graphene-enabled modulation depth. However, the modulation depths achieved with this ...
متن کاملGiant femtosecond optical nonlinearity of gold metamaterial nanostructures
We demonstrate that the magnitude and sign of the third-order nonlinear susceptibility of plasmonic metals can be controlled by nanostructuring. By patterning a gold film on the nanoscale to support a high quality plasmonic mode, enhancement of its two-photon absorption coefficient by two orders of magnitude is realized. With a response time of <115 fs, nonlinear gold metamaterials have potenti...
متن کاملElectro-optical control in a plasmonic metamaterial hybridised with a liquid-crystal cell.
We experimentally demonstrate efficient electro-optical control in an active nano-structured plasmonic metamaterial hybridised with a liquid-crystal cell. The hybridisation was achieved by simultaneously replacing the polarizer, transparent electrode and molecular alignment layer of the liquid-crystal cell with the metamaterial nano-structure. With the control signal of only 7 V we have achieve...
متن کاملA magneto-electro-optical effect in a plasmonic nanowire material
Electroand magneto-optical phenomena play key roles in photonic technology enabling light modulators, optical data storage, sensors and numerous spectroscopic techniques. Optical effects, linear and quadratic in external electric and magnetic field are widely known and comprehensively studied. However, optical phenomena that depend on the simultaneous application of external electric and magnet...
