Designed ultrafast optical nonlinearity in a plasmonic nanorod metamaterial enhanced by nonlocality.
All-optical signal processing enables modulation and transmission speeds not achievable using electronics alone. However, its practical applications are limited by the inherently weak nonlinear effects that govern photon-photon interactions in conventional materials, particularly at high switching rates. Here, we show that the recently discovered nonlocal optical behaviour of plasmonic nanorod ...
متن کاملExperimental characterization of optical nonlocality in metal-dielectric multilayer metamaterials
The optical nonlocality in metal-dielectric multilayer metamaterials is characterized experimentally as a function of the angle of incidence with respect to the TE-polarized incident light. The physical mechanism of the difference between the nonlocal effective permittivity and the effective-medium-theory-based effective permittivity depending on the incident angle is theoretically revealed thr...
متن کاملOptical nonlocality induced Zitterbewegung near the Dirac point in metal-dielectric multilayer metamaterials.
The optical nonlocality near the Dirac point in infinite periodic metal-dielectric multilayer metamaterials is investigated through the dispersion relation analysis according to the transfer-matrix method. It is revealed that both the symmetric and asymmetric surface plasmon polariton modes present the zero nonlocal effective permittivity, and the degeneracy of these two modes results in the em...
متن کاملDiffraction-free optical beam propagation with near-zero phase variation in extremely anisotropic metamaterials
Extremely anisotropic metal-dielectric multilayer metamaterials are designed to have the effective permittivity tensor of a transverse component (parallel to the interfaces of the multilayer) with zero real part and a longitudinal component (normal to the interfaces of the multilayer) with ultra-large imaginary part at the same wavelength, including the optical nonlocality analysis based on the...
متن کاملHyperbolic polaritonic crystals based on nanostructured nanorod metamaterials.
Surface plasmon polaritons usually exist on a few suitable plasmonic materials; however, nanostructured plasmonic metamaterials allow a much broader range of optical properties to be designed. Here, bottom-up and top-down nanostructuring are combined, creating hyperbolic metamaterial-based photonic crystals termed hyperbolic polaritonic crystals, allowing free-space access to the high spatial f...
