Nonlinear properties of light-tunneling heterostructures embedded with a highly dispersive meta-molecule

Yongqiang Chen, Yunhui Li, Kejia Zhu +4 more

We experimentally and theoretically investigate the nonlinear electromagnetic properties of light-tunneling heterostructures embedded with a varactor-loaded electromagnetically-induced-transparency (EIT)-like highly dispersive meta-molecule. We illustrate that when an EIT-like meta-molecule is hired at the interface of e-negative medium and µ-negative medium, the Q-factor and corresponding local fields of tunneling modes can be greatly boosted. Further study reveals that the electromagnetic (EM) field confinement along the propagating direction provided by the heterostructures, and the in-plane localization originated from the EIT-like meta-molecule, give rise to the three-dimensional enhancement of sub-wavelength EM localization corporately. Moreover, such a configuration can generate an extremely high transmission contrast up to 12 dB between two bistable states in its transmission with a bistability threshold low to −4.7 dBm. These advantages are not at the cost of extra device volume and drastic reduction of transmittance.

Nonlinear properties of photonic crystal cavity with embedded electromagnetic-induced-transparency-like meta-atoms

Yongqiang Chen, Kejia Zhu, Yunhui Li +4 more

We experimentally and theoretically investigate the nonlinear electromagnetic properties of a microstrip photonic crystal (PC) cavity with embedded electromagnetic-induced-transparency (EIT)-like meta-atoms. A bistable response, with threshold of low to −6.1 dBm and the transmission contrast of up to 4.0 dB, is conceptually demonstrated with a varactor as the nonlinear medium inclusion. Such low-threshold and high-contrast transmission action comes from the composite PC-EIT mechanism, which possesses sharper features and stronger localization of the electromagnetic field than either PC cavity or EIT-like meta-atoms. This mechanism will be useful for all-optical signal processing with advanced materials.
