100 THz optical switching with plasmonic metamaterial
Using femtosecond laser with variable pulse duration we probe the limits of switching that exploits coherent absorption in nanostructured gold films. Switching contrast ratios of 7:1 with a modulation bandwidth exceeding 100 THz has been observed. All-optical signal processing is one of the rising f...
