  • Measurement of the third-order nonlinear susceptibility (χ monolayer ( 3 ) $\chi _{{\mathrm{monolayer}}}^{(3)}$) of graphene.
  • Design and demonstration of strain-gated optical switches and logic gates.

    • Main Results:

    • Increasing tensile strain from 0% to 40% continuously suppressed SSPM diffraction rings from 8 to 0.
    • The third-order nonlinear susceptibility (χ monolayer ( 3 ) $\chi _{{\mathrm{monolayer}}}^{(3)}$) decreased from 1.357 × 10-7 to 6.125 × 10-8 e.s.u.
    • Strain-induced modifications in graphene's electronic band structure and effective interacting layers tuned the nonlinear optical response.
    • Successfully designed and demonstrated a strain-gated optical switch and reconfigurable logic gates (OR/AND).

    Conclusions:

    • Mechanical strain dynamically tunes the nonlinear optical response of graphene/PDMS composites.
    • This strain-tunable SSPM effect enables the development of reconfigurable graphene-based photonic devices.
    • The study opens new pathways for flexible, tunable nonlinear photonic devices for advanced information processing.
