Enhanced THz third-harmonic generation in graphene via hot-carriers in a topological cavity

Spyros Doukas, Ioannis Katsantonis, Thomas Koschny +2

Graphene is a promising material for nonlinear THz applications owing to its high third-order susceptibility and tunable optical properties. Its strong nonlinear response, driven b…

Strong and Broadband Pure Optical Activity in 3D Printed THz Chiral Metamaterials

Ioannis Katsantonis, Maria Manousidaki, Anastasios D. Koulouklidis +9

Optical activity (polarization rotation of light) is one of the most desired features of chiral media, as it is important for many polarization related applications. However, in th…

PT-symmetric chiral metamaterials: Asymmetric effects and PT-phase control

Ioannis Katsantonis, Sotiris Droulias, Costas M. Soukoulis +2

We investigate the influence of chirality on the PT-symmetric and PT-broken phase of PT-symmetric chiral systems. Starting from the point that transverse magnetic (TM) and transver…

Chiral metamaterials with PT symmetry and beyond

Sotiris Droulias, Ioannis Katsantonis, Maria Kafesaki +2

Optical systems with gain and loss that respect Parity-Time (PT) symmetry can have real eigenvalues despite their non-Hermitian character. Chiral systems impose circularly polarize…
