Plasmonic slot waveguides: a quantum leap in nonlinear nanophotonics by Libertad Rojas Yanez, Huatian Hu, Cristian Ciracì, Stefano Palomba

“…We also demonstrate that integrating epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) materials within the MDM slot significantly improves the nonlinear conversion efficiency of these structures. The results show that the degenerate four-wave mixing conversion efficiency of these ENZ-MDM structures surpasses that of regular plasmonic structures and their dielectric counterparts, even under low pump power conditions, and remains robust despite higher losses in the ENZ material.…”
