We have recently demonstrated that mid-infrared saturable-absorber mirrors and optical power limiters can be constructed using the concept of intersubband polaritonic metasurfaces – devices in which intersubband transitions in a semiconductor heterostructure are strongly coupled with optical modes in nanoresonators. Our original demonstration produced only relatively small (~20%) variation in reflection between low and high intensity illumination. We have now optimized the metasurface design, relying on a GaAsSb-InGaAs heterostructure that provides narrower-linewidth intersubband transitions, increased doping density, and utilized transitions between excited states to significantly improve the experimentally-measured reflectivity contrast, which now spans from 80% to 10% for different illumination intensities.
