Controlling the second harmonic in a phase-matched negative-index metamaterial.
Nonlinear metamaterials have been predicted to support new and exciting domains in the manipulation of light, including novel phase-matching schemes for wave mixing. Most notable is the so-called nonlinear-optical mirror, in which a nonlinear negative-index medium emits the generated frequency towards the source of the pump. In this Letter, we experimentally demonstrate the nonlinear-optical mi...
متن کاملDynamics of short pulses and phase matched second harmonic generation in negative index materials.
We study pulsed second harmonic generation in metamaterials under conditions of significant absorption. Tuning the pump in the negative index range, a second harmonic signal is generated in the positive index region, such that the respective indices of refraction have the same magnitudes but opposite signs. This insures that a forward-propagating pump is exactly phase matched to the backward-pr...
متن کاملAtomically phase-matched second-harmonic generation in a 2D crystal
Second-harmonic generation (SHG) has found extensive applications from hand-held laser pointers to spectroscopic and microscopic techniques. Recently, some cleavable van der Waals (vdW) crystals have shown SHG arising from a single atomic layer, where the SH light elucidated important information such as the grain boundaries and electronic structure in these ultra-thin materials. However, despi...
متن کاملNegative acoustic index metamaterial
Acoustic metamaterials utilizing periodic deep subwavelength resonators can attain negative acoustic properties unavailable in nature. We have developed a negative acoustic index metamaterial for water that combines Helmholtz and rod-spring resonators to control effective bulk modulus and mass density, respectively. Effective properties extracted from full-wave simulations of our metamaterial s...
متن کاملPulse measurements by randomly quasi phase matched second harmonic generation
We demonstrate experimentally the frequency doubling in disordered quadratic nonlinear media in the regime of total internal reflection of the fundamental beam. We show how the transversely emitted second harmonic can be employed for an efficient characterization of short laser pulses. (Some figures in this article are in colour only in the electronic version) Wavelength conversion of light via...
