Giant nonlinearity in a superconducting sub-terahertz metamaterial by Savinov, V., Delfanazari, K., Fedotov, V. A., Zheludev, Nikolay I.

“…The nonlinear response is caused by the radiation-induced resistive heating, suppressing the superconductivity in the nano-scale constrictions of the structure's meta-molecules. The nonlinearity has a relaxation time of 25 μs and leads to a substantial change of the amplitude and phase of the transmitted radiation at intensities of only 500 μW/cm.…”
