Single-pump hybrid nonlinearities in transparent conductors

Wallace Jaffray, Sven Stengel, Alexandra Boltasseva +7

Low-index transparent conducting oxides have attracted significant attention because ultrafast optical excitation in these materials can induce exceptionally large temporal index g…

Third Harmonic Generation in Transparent Longitudinal Epsilon-Near-Zero Multilayers

Wallace Jaffray, Sven Stengel, Domenico de Ceglia +5

Epsilon near zero (ENZ) materials can dramatically enhance local optical fields, enabling nonlinear interactions at relatively low intensities. Yet, near their plasma frequency, co…

Spatio-Temporal Photonic Metalattice

Wallace Jaffray, Sven Stengel, Farhan Ali +9

When coherent light interacts with an ordered lattice whose periodicity is comparable to its wavelength, constructive interference produces a diffraction pattern as in crystallogra…

All-optical polarization control in time-varying low-index films via plasma symmetry breaking

Wallace Jaffray, Sven Stengel, Alexandra Boltasseva +6

Controlling the polarization state of light with sub-picosecond speed and subwavelength precision remains a key challenge for next-generation nanophotonic devices. Conventional met…
