The remarkably-high intrinsic optical nonlinearity of graphene can be pushed even further when the optical frequency is tuned to plasmon resonances hosted by the material when it is doped [1-4]. Atomistic simulations provide an accurate description of these phenomena, although their computational cost is prohibitive for large graphene nanostructures [3, 4]. An alternative formalism consists in relying...
High-harmonic generation (HHG) is an extreme nonlinear optical phenomenon that is traditionally realized by driving atomic gases with intense ultrashort optical pulses, and usually relies on bulky laser amplification schemes to reach the enormous requisite electric field intensities. The realization of efficient HHG in solid-state systems is anticipated to pave the way for compact ultraviolet and...
Plasmons provide excellent sensitivity to detect analyte molecules through their strong interaction with the dielectric environment. Plasmonic sensors based on noble metals are, however, limited by the spectral broadening of these excitations. Here we identify a new mechanism that reveals the presence of individual molecules through the radical changes that they produce in the plasmons of graphene...
Here, we study the resonant photonic states of photonic double quantum well (PDQW) heterostructures composed of two different photonic crystals. The heterostructure is denoted as B/A/B/A/B, where photonic crystals A and B act as photonic wells and barriers, respectively. The resulting band structure causes photons to become confined within the wells, where they occupy discrete quantized states. We...
