Metamaterial structures for light processing and method of processing light

摘要

A metamaterial structure for light processing includes a light guide and a composite resonant electromagnetic (EM) structure having a resonant frequency. The composite resonant EM structure is arranged to interact with light propagating along the light guide to upconvert a frequency of the light to the resonant frequency, which generates second and higher harmonics of the light frequency. Method of processing light are also disclosed.
