Abstract

All-optical tunable metamaterial-induced transparency is realized using polycrystalline lithium niobate doped with gold nanoparticles and multilayer molybdenum disulfide microsheets as a third-order nonlinear optical material. A low threshold pump intensity of 90 kW cm−2 is obtained based on nonlinearity enhancement associated with the quantum confinement effect, the local-field enhancement effect, and reinforced interaction between photons and the multilayer molybdenum disulfide microsheets. An ultrafast response time of 27.4 ps is maintained owing to the fast relaxation dynamics of bound electrons in the polycrystalline lithium niobate. This work may pave a way for the realization of ultrahigh speed information processing chips based on metamaterials.
