Plasmon resonance enhanced large third-order optical nonlinearity and ultrafast optical response in Au nanobipyramids

Journal Article Yu, Ying ; Fan, Shan-Shan ; Dai, Hong-Wei ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

The third-order optical nonlinearity and response time of Au nanobipyramids have been investigated by using optical Kerr effect technique. Large third-order nonlinear optical susceptibility (χ{sup (3)}) and ultrafast optical response time have been obtained at the longitudinal surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) wavelength. As the excitation laser wavelength varies from non-resonance wavelength of 780 nm to the LSPR wavelength of 825 nm, χ{sup (3)} increases from 7.4 × 10{sup −14} to 3.9 × 10{sup −13} esu, the fast component of the response time decreases from 141 ± 23 to 83 ± 8 fs and the ratio of the fast component remains around 48%, while the slow response time decreases from 3200 ± 200more »« less

Low-power all-optical tunable plasmonic-mode coupling in nonlinear metamaterials

Journal Article Zhang, Fan ; Yang, Hong ; Hu, Xiaoyong ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

All-optical tunable plasmonic-mode coupling is realized in a nonlinear photonic metamaterial consisting of periodic arrays of gold asymmetrically split ring resonators, covered with a poly[(methyl methacrylate)-co-(disperse red 13 acrylate)] azobenzene polymer layer. The third-order optical nonlinearity of the azobenzene polymer is enormously enhanced by using resonant excitation. Under excitation with a 17-kW/cm{sup 2}, 532-nm pump light, plasmonic modes shift by 51 nm and the mode interval is enlarged by 30 nm. Compared with previous reports, the threshold pump intensity is reduced by five orders of magnitude, while extremely large tunability is maintained.

Ultralow-power all-optical tunable double plasmon-induced transparencies in nonlinear metamaterials

Journal Article Zhu, Yu ; Yang, Hong ; Hu, Xiaoyong ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

An all-optical tunable double plasmon-induced transparency is realized in a photonic metamaterial coated on the surface of a nanocomposite layer made of polycrystalline indium-tin oxide doped with gold nanoparticles. The local-field effect, quantum confinement effect, and hot-electron injection ensure a large optical nonlinearity for the nanocomposite. A shift of 120 nm in the central wavelength of transparency windows is reached under excitation with a weak pump laser with an intensity of 21 kW/cm{sup 2}. Compared with previous reports, the threshold pump intensity is reduced by five orders of magnitude, while an ultrafast response time of 34.9 ps is maintained.

All-optical active plasmonic devices with memory and power-switching functionalities based on {epsilon}-near-zero nonlinear metamaterials

Journal Article Ciattoni, Alessandro ; Rizza, Carlo ; Palange, Elia - Physical Review. A

We theoretically propose and numerically investigate an active plasmonic device made up of a nonlinear {epsilon}-near-zero metamaterial slab of thickness smaller than 100 nm lying on a linear {epsilon}-near-zero metamaterial substrate. We predict that in free-space coupling configuration the system operating at low intensity displays plasmon mediated hysteresis behavior. The phase difference between the reflected and the incident optical waves turns out to be multivalued and dependent on the history of the excitation process. Such an hysteresis behavior allows the proposed system to be regarded as a memory device whose state is accessible by measuring either the mentioned phase differencemore »« less
