Phase matching in hyperbolic wire media for nonlinear frequency conversion

[en] Efficient nonlinear frequency conversion requires a phase matching condition to be satisfied. We analyze the dispersion of the modes of hyperbolic wire metamaterials and demonstrate that phase matching at infrared wavelengths can be achieved with a variety of constituent materials, such as GaAs, in which phase matching cannot easily be achieved by conventional means. Our finding promises access to many materials with attractive nonlinear properties.
