Large optical nonlinearity of ITO nanorods for sub-picosecond all-optical modulation of the full-visible spectrum

Optical nonlinearity in metallic nanostructures has been exploited for all-optical signal switching. Here, Guo et al. report on the optical nonlinearity of indium tin oxide nanorod arrays in the dielectric range induced by pumping in the metallic range, enabling modulation of the full-visible spectr...
