Scientists have demonstrated the effect of all-optical switching between streams of photons, born during the third harmonic generation process, using non-linear metamaterials. Researchers at Lomonosov Moscow State University planned the study and conducted calculations and experiments, while their German colleagues made samples of metamaterials. The results are published in Scientific Reports. According to Maxim Scherbakov, researcher at MSU's Laboratory of Nanophotonic metamaterials, the work will make it possible to use the metamaterials to create high-speed communication technologies in future.
