Nonlinear media controls light with light

A variety of nonlinear media, each with tailored optical properties, could be produced using a gold-disk patterning method to perform four-wave mixing. Developed at Rice University, the method is the first to produce materials that can achieve four-wave mixing with a range of colored input and output. “Versatility is one of the advantages of this process,” said study co-author Naomi Halas, director of the university’s Laboratory for Nanophotonics (LANP). She is the Stanley C. Moore Professor in Electrical and Computer Engineering. “It allows us to mix colors...Read full article

    four-wave mixing
    A phenomenon that occurs in WDM and DWDM systems when three closely spaced signal wavelengths near the zero-dispersion wavelength interact with each other, producing a fourth wavelength that interferes with the original signal. A moderate amount of dispersion can be designed into some systems to ensure that this effect does not take place.
    nano
    An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
