Controlling the second harmonic in a phase-matched negative-index metamaterial.
Abstract
Nonlinear metamaterials have been predicted to support new and exciting domains in
the manipulation of light, including novel phase-matching schemes for wave mixing.
Most notable is the so-called nonlinear-optical mirror, in which a nonlinear negative-index
medium emits the generated frequency towards the source of the pump. In this Letter,
we experimentally demonstrate the nonlinear-optical mirror effect in a bulk negative-index
nonlinear metamaterial, along with two other novel phase-matching configurations,
utilizing periodic poling to switch between the three phase-matching domains.
