Efficient and functional optical frequency conversion in 3D Nonlinear Optical Artificial Materials
Optical frequency conversion in bulk nonlinear crystals is used for generation of coherent light over the entire optical regime from extreme ultra-violet up to THz waves. This remarkable ability is at the core of a plethora of important technological and scientific applications. However, bulk nonlinear crystals pose strong limitations on integration, miniaturization, and control over the nonlinear interactions, holding back the further progress of optical frequency conversion technologies. I propose to lead a great breakthrough in the field by developing a new kind of 3D nano-engineered nonlinear optical artificial materials with superior nonlinear optical properties, and free of the…
