Nonlinear graphene metamaterial

We demonstrate that the broadband nonlinear optical response of graphene can be resonantly enhanced by more than an order of magnitude through hybridization with a plasmonic metamaterial, while retaining an ultrafast nonlinear response time of ∼ 1 ps. Transmission modulation close to ∼ 1% is seen at...
