Broad frequency shift of parametric processes in Epsilon-Near-Zero time-varying media
read the original abstract
The ultrafast changes of material properties induced by short laser pulses can lead to frequency shift of reflected and transmitted radiation. Recent reports highlight how such a frequency shift is enhanced in the spectral regions where the material features a near-zero real part of the permittivity. Here we investigate the frequency shift for fields generated by four-wave mixing with a nonlinear polarisation oscillating at twice the pump frequency. In our experiment we observe a frequency shift of more than 60 nm (compared to the pulse width of ~40 nm) for the phase conjugated radiation generated by a 500 nm Aluminium-doped Zinc Oxide (AZO) film pumped close to the epsilon-near-zero wavelength. Our results indicate applications of time-varying media for nonlinear optics and frequency conversion.
