Nonlinear-optical up and down frequency-converting backward-wave metasensors and metamirrors

Optics 2015-06-15 v1

Abstract

A concept of a family of unique backward-wave photonic devices, such as frequency up and down converting nonlinear-optical mirrors, sensors, modulators, filters and amplifiers is proposed. Novel materials are considered, which support coexistence of ordinary and backward waves and thus enable enhanced nonlinear-optical frequency-conversion processes. Particular properties of short-pulse regime are investigated.
