Cross‐Phase Modulation via Time‐Varying Epsilon‐Near‐Zero Metasurfaces

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Time‐varying epsilon‐near‐zero metasurfaces are shown to enable cross‐phase modulation beyond conventional ENZ excitation. By engineering dual absorption bands and exploiting oblique ultrafast pumping, large and broadband frequency translations are achieved at low pump energies.
