Metasurface optical device boosts nonlinear frequency conversion
Source ↗ 👁 0 💬 0
By combining a band-structure engineered multi-quantum-well heterostructure with a nanostructure known as a metasurface, physicists in Austria and the US have created a device that can efficiently transform light into different frequencies – including those at technologically important near-infrared wavelengths. Their technique, which boosts nonlinear frequency conversion, could help in the development of smaller and more efficient components for telecommunications, quantum information transfer
