Abstract

We study the nonlinear optical response of a fishnet structure-metamaterial all-optical switching device that exhibits two near-infrared negative-index resonances. We study and compare the nonlinear optical response at both resonances and identify transient spectral features associated with the negative index resonance. We see a significantly stronger response at the longer wavelength resonance, but identical temporal dynamics at both resonances, providing insight into separately engineering the switching time and switching ratio of such a fishnet structure metamaterial all-optical switch. We also numerically reproduce the nonlinear behavior of our device using the Drude conductivity model and a finite integration technique over wide spectral and pump fluence ranges. Thereby, we show that beyond the linear properties of the device, the magnitude of the pump-probe response is completely described by only two material parameters. These results provide insight into engineering various aspects of the nonlinear response of fishnet structure metamaterials.

Schematic view of fishnet structure-metamterial device. Geometrical parameters of elliptical negative-index metamaterial: p = 345 nm; ax = 119 nm; ay = 81 nm; and θ (sidewall-angle) = 18°. The device consists of 28 nm thick Ag; 68 nm thick α-Si; and 28 nm thick Ag. The direction of polarization for the incoming light is parallel to the narrower stripe width between apertures. Inset: Top view scanning electron microscope (SEM) image.

(a) Measured normal incidence transmission spectra (FTIR) for both polarizations (E || and E ⊥). The simulated transmission curves are obtained using a finite integration technique, where the metamaterial parameters are adjusted to give the best fit to the measured transmission. (b) Real parts of the effective refractive index and permeability using the best-fit parameters obtained from (a).

Ultrafast pump-probe setup. The frequency doubled signal pulse from a near-IR OPA provides the 590 nm visible pump pulse. The idler pulse from a visible OPA (930-2300 nm) is tuned to study the response around each resonance.

Time-resolved pump-probe response versus probe wavelength. (a) Response near the (1,1) resonance (b) Response near the (1,0) resonance. At both resonances and for all probe wavelengths, the time-resolved traces show a triple exponential decay with a fast ~600 fs component, a few ps component and a slow component that lasts for nanoseconds. At both resonances, at zero pump-probe delay we see ΔT/T > 0 (ΔT/T < 0) for probe wavelengths just longer (shorter) that the negative index resonance.

Dual-band negative index resonance in a single metamaterial device. (a) We see the characteristic pump-probe response of a negative index resonance in a metamaterial device, thereby allowing us to clearly identify two negative index resonances in our device. The simulated transmission through the device on photoexcitation around the (b) (1,1) resonance and (c) (1,0) resonance demonstrate that ΔT/T > 0 (ΔT/T < 0) for wavelengths just longer (shorter) than the negative index resonance.

SR versus pump fluence. We see a nonlinear scaling of the SR versus pump fluence at both the resonances. This is indicative of the nonlinear dependence of the effective parameters of the metamaterial on its constituent elements. Inset: The normalized plots show that the scaling is identical for both the resonances, thereby demonstrating experimentally the common physical origin of the nonlinear response at both the resonances, i.e. the change in metamaterial properties is due to the photoexcitation of carriers in the α-Si.
