    Ultrafast all-optical modulation with optically resonant nanostructures is an essential technology for high-speed signal processing on a compact optical chip. Key challenges that exist in this field are relatively low and slow modulations in the visible range as well as the use of expensive materials. Here we develop an ultrafast all-optical modulator based on MAPbBr3 perovskite metasurface supporting exciton–polariton states with exceptional points. The additional angular and spectral filtering of the modulated light transmitted through the designed metasurface allows us to achieve 2500% optical signal modulation with the shortest modulation time of 440 fs at the pump fluence of ∼40 μJ/cm2. Such a value of the modulation depth is record-high among the existing modulators in the visible range, while the main physical effect behind it is polariton condensation. Scalable and cheap metasurface fabrication via nanoimprint lithography along with the simplicity of perovskite synthesis and deposition make the developed approach promising for real-life applications.
