Abstract:Nano-metamaterials have been shown to exhibit unusual and configurable optical responses. In this paper we study visible-IR nonlinear transmission and all-optical switching enhancement of liquid crystals and neat organic liquids by dispersion of metallic nanospheres.
“…birefringence [121][122][123][124] and nonlinearity [125][126][127][128] LCs are applied first to metamaterials to realize the tuning of the effective refractive index covering frequency range from microwave region to optical region [129][130][131][132][133][134][135].…”
qun provided the initial project direction and edited the manuscript drafts. Prof. Zhu Weiming and Prof. Wu Pin-Chieh assisted in simulation, fabrication and experiments. I conducted the design, simulation, fabrication and experiments.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
