Abstract

In this Letter, we present a mechanism for effectively broadening the bandwidth of second-harmonic generation (SHG) with the metamaterial-based artificial optical nonlinearity. As the nonlinear response of the artificial nonlinearity arising from the magnetoelectric coupling constructed by the meta-molecule (MM) structure, the broadband second-order nonlinearity can be built by simply combining the MMs with different geometrical sizes together. The physical model and the numerical simulation fully support the artificial generation and modulation of the broadband second harmonics. Our work suggests a new route for realizing the on-chip custom-designed nonlinear optical devices with broadband operation.
