Wave mixing in nonlinear magnetic metacrystal
Abstract
We present experimental measurements of three- and four-wave mixing phenomena in an artificially structured nonlinear magnetic metacrystal at microwave frequencies. The sum frequency generation signal for the varactor-loaded split-ring resonator (VLSRR) metamaterial agrees quantitatively with that predicted using an analytical effective medium model describing the VLSRR medium. A resonant enhancement of the nonlinear response is observed near the metamaterial resonance.
