Far-IR to deep-UV adaptive supercontinuum generation using semiconductor nano-antennas via carrier injection rate modulation

Oezum Emre Asirim

Summary: Semiconductor nano-antennas are proposed for ultra-broadband supercontinuum generation by rapidly modulating the carrier injection rate. High-intensity pulsed-pump irradiation of the nano-antennas allows for the generation of a broad supercontinuum at the nanoscale, enabling continuous spectral shaping.

Second harmonic generation in amorphous silicon-on-silica metamaterial

Jie Xu et al.

Summary: In this study, second harmonic generation was demonstrated using an amorphous silicon metamaterial fabricated on the tip of an optical fiber. The metamaterial is a double-chevron array that supports a closed-mode resonance for the fundamental wavelength at 1510 nm, with a quality factor of 30. The normalized resonant second harmonic conversion efficiency calculated per intensity and square of interaction length is approximately 10(-11) W-1, exceeding the previously achieved value for a silicon metamaterial by two orders of magnitude.
