TLDR
A novel type of nonlinearity in metamaterials is proposed, which is induced by mechanical deformation of the structure, and which relies on the counterplay between the electromagnetic attraction and the elastic repulsion to create a novel nonlinear response.Abstract:
We propose and demonstrate experimentally a novel type of nonlinearity in metamaterials, which is induced by mechanical deformation of the structure. The nonlinearity arises from the introduction of an extra degree of freedom in the metamaterial, which allows for elastic displacement of the strongly interacting structural elements (see Fig. 1a). This type of nonlinearity relies on the counterplay between the electromagnetic attraction and the elastic repulsion, and the induced deformation alters the electromagnetic response of the entire structure, leading to the novel nonlinear response of the metamaterial.read more

TL;DR: In this article, a novel approach for making reconfigurable optical components that are created with light in a non-volatile and reversible fashion is reported, where components are written, erased and rewritten as two-dimensional binary or greyscale patterns into a nanoscale film of phase-change material by inducing a refractive index-changing phase transition with tailored trains of femtosecond pulses.
