摘要

Abstract

We introduce a dielectric photonic metamaterial presenting a giant nonlinear optical response driven by resonant optomechanical forces. Being inherently free of Joule losses

it exhibits optical bistability at intensity levels of less than 0.2 mW μm

−2

and

furthermore

manifests nonlinear asymmetric transmission with a forward∶backward optical extinction ratio of more than 30 dB.
