Graphene’s nonlinear-optical physics revealed through exponentially growing self-phase modulation

Graphene enables extraordinary nonlinear-optical refraction, far exceeding predictions based on conventional nonlinear-susceptibility theory. Here, Vermeulen et al. show that rather than the nonlinear susceptibility, a complex saturable refraction process is central to graphene’s unusual behavior.
