Four-wave mixing, quantum control and compensating losses in doped negative-index photonic metamaterials

Quantum Physics 2009-11-13 v2 Optics

Abstract

The possibility of compensating absorption in negative-index metatamterials (NIMs) doped by resonant nonlinear-optical centers is shown. The role of quantum interference and extraordinary properties of four-wave parametric amplification of counter-propagating electromagnetic waves in NIMs are discussed.
