Plasmonic-cavity Modulator for the Mid-IR with a Semi-transparent and Nonlinear Heavily-doped Semiconductor Mirror
Tommaso Venanzi, Raffaella Polito, Andrea Rossetti +15
We present a free-space plasmonic modulator based on a single heavily-doped semiconductor layer. We investigate its ability to modulate both the linear and nonlinear response at mi…
Ultrahigh free-electron Kerr nonlinearity in all-semiconductor waveguides for all-optical nonlinear modulation of mid-infrared light
Gonzalo Álvarez-Pérez, Huatian Hu, Fangcheng Huang +3
Nonlinear optical waveguides, particularly those harnessing the optical Kerr effect, are promising for advancing next-generation photonic technologies. Despite the Kerr effect`s ul…
Modulating Low-Power Threshold Optical Bistability by Electrically Reconfigurable Free-Electron Kerr Nonlinearity
Huatian Hu, Gonzalo Álvarez-Pérez, Antonio Valletta +3
We propose a microscopic mechanism to electrically reconfigure the Kerr nonlinearity by modulating the concentration of free electrons in heavily doped semiconductors under a stati…
Origin of optical nonlinearity in plasmonic semiconductor nanostructures
Andrea Rossetti, Huatian Hu, Tommaso Venanzi +15
The development of nanoscale nonlinear elements in photonic integrated circuits is hindered by the physical limits to the nonlinear optical response of dielectrics, which requires…
