Manipulation of epsilon-near-zero wavelength for the optimization of linear and nonlinear absorption by supercritical fluid

Abstract We introduce supercritical fluid (SCF) technology to epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) photonics for the first time and experimentally demonstrate the manipulation of the ENZ wavelength for the enhancement of linear and nonlinear optical absorption in ENZ indium tin oxide (ITO) nanolayer. Inspired by...
