Weyl半金属中的拓扑频率变换

Topological frequency conversion in Weyl semimetals

Frederik Nathan, Ivar Martin, Gil Refael

摘要:

我们理论上预测了一种基于外尔半金属的光放大新工作原理:当外尔半金属在两个频率下受到适当照射时,靠近外尔点的电子通过拓扑频率转换机制在频率之间转换能量[Martin et al,PRX 7 041008(2017)]。每个电子以普朗克常数的整数倍乘以两个频率的乘积给出的量子化速率转换能量。在模拟中,我们表明,最佳的,但可行的能带结构可以支持拓扑频率转换的“太赫兹间隙”的强度下降到$ 2{\rm W}/{\rm mm^2}$ ;从效果的增益可以超过耗散损耗时,频率大于系统的弛豫时间。拓扑频率转换为光放大提供了一个新的范例,并进一步扩展了Weyl半金属的技术应用前景。

英文摘要:

We theoretically predict a new working principle for optical amplification, based on Weyl semimetals: when a Weyl semimetal is suitably irradiated at two frequencies, electrons close to the Weyl points convert energy between the frequencies through the mechanism of topological frequency conversion from [Martin et al, PRX 7 041008 (2017)]. Each electron converts energy at a quantized rate given by an integer multiple of Planck's constant multiplied by the product of the two frequencies. In simulations, we show that optimal, but feasible band structures can support topological frequency conversion in the "THz gap" at intensities down to $ 2{\rm W}/{\rm mm^2}$; the gain from the effect can exceed the dissipative loss when the frequencies are larger than the relaxation time of the system. Topological frequency conversion provides a new paradigm for optical amplification, and further extends Weyl semimetals' promise for technological applications.
