We measure nondegenerate nonlinear refraction of ITO as we tune the excitation wavelength through Epsilon-Near-Zero (ENZ) for a fixed probing wavelength. Unlike the degenerate case, there is no observed peak in the nonlinearity at ENZ.

We directly write with fs laser pulses differently ordered patterns of permanent seeds into a disordered nonlinear photonic crystal to effectively influence the distribution of ferroelectric domains. The new order is nonlinearly revealed by Cerenkov-type second- harmonic microscopy (CSHM).

We report a compact and robust laser system capable of generating diffraction-limited pulses tunable from the red- through mid- IR that exploits a repetition–rate switchable master oscillator and single-pass OPO design with PPLN and BIBO crystals.

Our experimental investigation of molybdenum in the Otto configuration shows that an absorbing film is essentially transparent to long-range surface exciton-polaritons, yet it allows a nonlinear interaction leading to the enhanced emission of second-harmonic radiation.

Atomically strong THz fields accelerate electrons in bulk semiconductors, new 2D materials, and atomically sharp tunneling junctions. By tracking this lightwave-driven charge transport with subcycle resolution, we explore dynamical Bloch oscillations as well as quasiparticle collisions and record the first single-molecule femtosecond movie.

Transparent anisotropic dielectrics support ghost waves that combine properties of propagating and evanescent fields. Similarly to negative index media, these modes can grow exponentially through the anisotropic material, leading to dramatic enhancement of effective nonlinearity.
