Abstract
We propose a concept for generation of ultrashort pulses based on transient field-induced plasmonic resonance in nanoparticle composites. Photoionization and free-carrier plasma generation change the susceptibility of nanoparticles on a few-femtosecond scale under the action of the pump pulse. This opens a narrow time window when the system is in plasmonic resonance, which is accompanied by a short burst of the local field. During this process, frequency-tunable few-fs pulses can be emitted. This paves a way to ultra-compact yet efficient generation of ultrashort pulses at short wavelengths.
