Potential Due to a Polarized Object

497
A neutral atom consists of a positively charged nucleus surrounded by a negatively charged electron cloud. When placed in an external electric field, the external electric force pulls the electrons and nucleus apart, opposite to the intrinsic attraction between the nucleus and the electrons. The opposing forces balance each other with a slight shift between the center of masses of the nucleus and the electron cloud, resulting in a polarized atom. On the other hand, a few molecules, like water,...

Dielectric Polarization in a Capacitor

5.2K
The presence of a dielectric medium in a capacitor not only changes the voltage and capacitance but also affects the electric field. In general, dielectrics can be of two types: polar and nonpolar. In a polar dielectric, the positive and negative charges in the molecules are separated by a distance and hence have a permanent dipole moment. In contrast, no such charge separation exists in a nonpolar dielectric, however the nonpolar molecules get polarized in the presence of an external electric...

Area of Science:

  • Photonics and Nanotechnology
  • Quantum Engineering
  • Nonlinear Optics

Background:

  • All-dielectric metasurfaces traditionally rely on electromagnetic mode engineering for second-harmonic generation (SHG) enhancement.
  • Conventional materials limit nanoscale engineering of material nonlinearities for improved SHG.
  • Quantum-engineered semiconductor heterostructures offer a new pathway for resonant nonlinearities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To engineer material nonlinearities at the nanoscale for enhanced SHG.
  • To realize an all-dielectric polaritonic metasurface combining heterostructure and meta-atom optimization.
  • To achieve high SHG conversion efficiencies at low pump intensities.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of semiconductor heterostructures with quantum engineered intersubband transitions.
  • Integration of heterostructures into all-dielectric metasurface designs (polaritonic metasurface).
  • Experimental characterization of second-harmonic generation power conversion.

Main Results:

  • Achieved a maximum second-harmonic generation power conversion factor of 0.5 mW/W².
  • Demonstrated power conversion efficiencies of 0.015% at 11 kW/cm² pump intensity.
  • Obtained higher SHG conversion efficiencies compared to previous records in all-dielectric metasurfaces, using 3 orders of magnitude lower pump power.

Conclusions:

  • Simultaneous optimization of heterostructures and meta-atoms enables efficient nonlinear light generation.
  • This approach opens new avenues for designing highly efficient nonlinear all-dielectric metasurfaces.
  • The developed metasurface is suitable for novel classical and quantum light sources.
