Ultrafast All‐Optical Control of Light Chirality with Nanostructured Graphene
Abstract: Ultrafast nanophotonics is a rapidly growing area of study focused on creating nanodevices that can modulate the properties of light at, to this date, unparalleled speed. To facilitate the growth of this field, there is a growing need for compact metamaterial designs for the manipulation of the amplitude, phase, and polarization of light. One promising strategy involves leveraging the optical nonlinearity of nanostructured materials to alter their permittivity by interacting with high‐intensity ultrashort laser pulses. This study showcases how such requirements can be met through the utilization of 2D materials, particularly graphene. The nonlinear optical response of a graphene nanorectangle array is theoretically modeled to achieve all‐optical, fully reversible, broadband, and ultrafast dynamic control of light chirality. This is achieved by taking advantage of the energy relaxation dynamics of coherently excited localized plasmons supported by the metasurface, and the transient increase in electron temperature in graphene. Using finite‐difference time‐domain simulations, ultrafast dynamic tuning between circular and linearly polarized light is demonstrated. The proposed platform gives promise for ultrathin, CMOS‐compatible nanophotonic systems that can provide high‐speed, room‐temperature modulation of light polarization.
