Fig. 6From: Nonlinear meta-optics towards applicationsMeta-optics for laser Q-switching and mode-locking. a Illustration of the processes of saturable absorption based on either interband or intraband excitation (left) and the principle of laser Q-switching and mode-locking (right). b Left: transmission electron micrograph of the ITO nanocrystal. Right: temporal width of one pulse [119]. c Top: SEM image of the plasmonic metasurface. Bottom: temporal width of single soliton [120]Back to article page
