Mirror-Constrained Optical Hall Rectification in Asymmetric Gold Gratings:\\ Edelstein Conversion and a Phase-Seeded Kerr Four-Wave Mixing Instability

Michael N. Leuenberger, Richard M. Osgood

Transverse optical rectification has been reported in a one-dimensional asymmetric Au grating even though an ideal profile $h(x)$ retains the $xz$ mirror $\Me:y\to-y$. Because $J_y…
