Ultrafast Third-Harmonic Spectral Modulation and Self-Action in Resonant Nonlocal Metasurfaces

Alfonso Nardi, Sonia Freddi, Michael Scalora +8

Quasi-bound states in the continuum enable exceptional field confinement, strongly reducing the pump intensity threshold for nonlinear light-matter interaction in dielectric metasu…

Efficient photon-pair emission from a nanostructured resonator and its theoretical description

Michael Poloczek, Alberto Paniate, Attilio Zilli +12

Spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) in subwavelength nanostructures is a promising source of quantum light, owing to its multifunctionality and ability to generate comple…

Second-Harmonic Generation at a Fourth-Order Exceptional Point Degeneracy

Albert Herrero-Parareda, Domenico de Ceglia, Maria Antonietta Vincenti +3

An anomalous flat-band dispersion provided by a degenerate band edge (DBE) of longitudinal optical modes in a double-grating waveguide is used to enhance second-harmonic generation…

All-optical polarization control and routing by nonlinear interferometry at the nanoscale

Yigong Luan, Attilio Zilli, Agostino Di Francescantonio +7

Optical metasurfaces are rapidly establishing as key-enabling platforms for nanophotonics applications. Along with the ability of taming light in subwavelength thicknesses, they ca…
