Picosecond all-optical switching and dark pulse generation in a fibre-optic network using a plasmonic metamaterial absorber

Coherent interaction of two light waves on a film of subwavelength thickness provides remarkable opportunities for controlling intensity and polarization of light beams as well as all-optical image processing. Here, we show that such interactions can be used for optical dark pulse generation and bas...
