Item Open Access Observation of enhanced generation of a fifth harmonic from halide perovskite nonlocal metasurfaces(American Chemical Society, 2023-03-11) Tonkaev, P.; Koshelev, K.; Masharin, Mikhail A.; Makarov, S. V.; Kruk, S. S.; Kivshar, Y.Lead halide perovskites are widely employed in photonic and light-emitting devices because of their rich optoelectronic properties and simplicity of fabrication based on low-cost flexible technologies. Perovskite bulk crystals and films demonstrate outstanding nonlinear characteristics with large optical nonlinearities exceeding the nonlinear susceptibilities of conventional semiconductor materials by several orders of magnitude. One of the promising approaches for further enhancement of the nonlinear response of perovskites as dielectric photonic materials is to employ optical resonances of structured surfaces, or metasurfaces. Nonlocal metasurfaces supporting lattice modes over many unit cells provide a new approach to both spatial and spectral control of light fields, and they may deliver improved characteristics of nonlinear effects for a wide range of applications associated with broadband excitation of multiple high-quality resonances. Here we report on the first observation of enhanced fifth harmonic generation in MAPbBr3 halide perovskite nonlocal metasurfaces driven by high-quality resonances at the generated harmonic wavelength in the visible frequency range. The demonstrated enhancement is about 2 orders of magnitude compared to an unpatterned MAPbBr3 film of the same thickness, and is broadband by virtue of the excitation of multiple resonant modes in the highly nonlocal regime. Our work suggests a novel approach for achieving parametric processes in resonant dielectric structures with high efficiency.Item Open Access A route to unusually broadband plasmonic absorption spanning from visible to mid-infrared(Springer, 2019) Aalizadeh, Majid; Khavasi, A.; Serebryannikov, A. E.; Vandenbosch, G. A. E.; Özbay, EkmelIn this paper, a route to ultra-broadband absorption is suggested and demonstrated by a feasible design. The high absorption regime (absorption above 90%) for the suggested structure ranges from visible to mid-infrared (MIR), i.e., for the wavelength varying from 478 to 3278 nm that yields an ultra-wide band with the width of 2800 nm. The structure consists of a top-layer-patterned metal-insulator-metal (MIM) configuration, into the insulator layer of which, an ultra-thin 5 nm layer of manganese (Mn) is embedded. The MIM configuration represents a Ti-Al2O3-Ti tri-layer. It is shown that, without the ultra-thin layer of Mn, the absorption bandwidth is reduced to 274 nm. Therefore, adding only a 5 nm layer of Mn leads to a more than tenfold increase in the width of the absorption band. It is explained in detail that the physical mechanism yielding this ultra-broadband result is a combination of plasmonic and non-plasmonic resonance modes, along with the appropriate optical properties of Mn. This structure has the relative bandwidth (RBW) of 149%, while only one step of lithography is required for its fabrication, so it is relatively simple. This makes it rather promising for practical applications.
