Giant Nonlinearity of UV Hybrid Light-Matter States With a Wide Bandgap Semiconductor Waveguide

The EPFL at scitechdaily.com relates the field of ultrafast nonlinear photonics has now become the focus of numerous studies, as it enables a host of applications in advanced on-chip spectroscopy and information processing. The latter in particular requires a strongly intensity-dependent optical refractive index that can modulate optical pulses faster than even picosecond timescales and on…
