Optical rectification by ratchet transport in an asymmetric grating

We report on electron ratchet transport’s manifestation in the optical rectification (OR) of an asymmetric grating. The photon-drag enabled effect is magnified by asymmetric photon scatterings and the induced optical nonlinearity associated with the surface plasmon polariton (SPP) via its near-field...
