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 present, in theory and experiments, the first Topological Insulator Lasers: lasers where the cavity acts as a “superconductor for light”, maintaining slope high efficiency even in the presence of defects and disorder.
