Multiplex nonresonant pump four-wave mixing
We propose a scheme of multiplex nonresonant pump four-wave mixing (NRP-FWM) process which is highly immune to saturation problems. The process is accomplished with two high-intensity pump beams detun...

We find that a two-dimensional photonic crystal composed of polaritonic materials behaves as an effective medium with negative permeability in the micron wavelength range. The resonance in µeff is due to the large values of 
(
) attained near the transverse phonon frequency T. The minimal wavelength for achieving an effective permeability less than –1 in a LiTaO3 crystal, obtained by optimizing the rod size and the lattice constant, is around 12 µm, a range previously inaccessible using dielectric metamaterials. For certain dissipation levels, we find that other polaritonic media also exhibit a resonant effect with µeff<–1 for wavelengths ranging from 2 to ~100 µm.
