A metasurface for non-linear optical generation with full phase control | Laboratoire MPQ

Researchers of the DON team at MPQ lab have obtained the first dielectric optical metasurface generating second harmonic with full phase control.

Thanks to this breakthrough, they achieved meta-arrays, meta-lenses and non-linear meta-holograms, with frequency conversions a million times more efficient than with metallic metasurfaces. These results, achieved within the PhD thesis of Carlo Gigli and a collaboration with the CEA funded by the ANR, are published in the journal Optica. They have been highlighted on the CNRS-INP website.
