Main Results:

  • Observed enhanced light mixing in graphene nanoribbon arrays.
  • Demonstrated a nonlocal nonlinear effect orders of magnitude larger than conventional graphene nonlinearity.
  • Recalculated third-order nonlinearity coefficient reached 4.5 × 10-6 esu.

Conclusions:

  • Nanostructured graphene with excited plasmons exhibits a novel, enhanced nonlinear optical effect.
  • The effect is nonlocal and significantly stronger than previously known graphene nonlinearities.
  • This phenomenon has potential applications in nonlinear optical devices like modulators and sensors.
