Ultrathin Gradient Nonlinear Metasurface with a Giant Nonlinear Response Invited
08:30-09:00
2017-10-05 08:30 2017-10-05 09:00 America/Denver Ultrathin Gradient Nonlinear Metasurface with a Giant Nonlinear Response I will review our latest results on developing intersubband polaritonic metasurfaces, based on coupling of transitions between electron states in quantum-engineered semiconductor heterostructures with electromagnetic modes in plasmonic nanocavities, for frequency mixing, intensity modulation, and optical power limiting applications in the mid-infrared frequency range.

Dispersion of Extremely Nondegenerate Nonlinear Refraction in Semiconductors
09:00-09:15
2017-10-05 09:00 2017-10-05 09:15 America/Denver Dispersion of Extremely Nondegenerate Nonlinear Refraction in Semiconductors Dispersion of nondegenerate nonlinear refraction in semiconductors is measured using Beam-Deflection technique. With large nondegeneracy, n_2 is greatly enhanced and exhibits a strong nonlinear dispersion, which rapidly switches sign to negative near the bandgap. Potential applications including nondegenerate all-optical switching and pulse shaping are discussed. Hilton Santa Fe Historic Plaza Kahiki/Lily
