Periodic nanostructuring can enhance the optical nonlinearity of plasmonic metals by several orders of magnitude. By patterning a gold film, the largest sub-100 femtosecond nonlinearity is achieved, which is suitable for terahertz rate all-optical data processing as well as ultrafast optical limiters and saturable absorbers.
周期性纳米结构化可以将等离子体金属的光学非线性增强几个数量级。通过对金膜进行图案化,可以实现最大的亚 100 飞秒非线性,适用于太赫兹率全光数据处理以及超快光限幅器和可饱和吸收体。
