Review of Nonlinear Optics in Metamaterials
Recent researches on metamaterials (MMs) demonstrated that a nonlinear MM exhibits a rich spatiotemporal dynamics where both linear and nonlinear effective properties can be tailored simply. This provides opportunity to explore the new nonlinear optical phenomena in MMs. This contribution reviews the recent advances on nonlinear interaction between electromag-netic wave with MMs, from the fundamental physical models to unique phenomena and conceived novel devices. The physical origins for the typical nonlinear phenomena, such as second-order harmonic generation (SHG), optical parametric amplification (OPA), four-wave mixing (FWM), optical soliton, self-phase modulation (SPM), and self-focusing in MMs are explained. Several proposals for applications of nonlinear MMs in manipulating light are demonstrated.
