Femtosecond Switching of Infrared Light using a Plasmonic Cadmium Oxide Perfect Absorber

Abstract

Using a high-electron-mobility cadmium oxide perfect absorber and intraband optical pumping, we experimentally demonstrate a reflective polarizer with a polarization extinction ratio of 91 that can be switched on and off... [ view full abstract ]
