1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Moderate efficiencies of nonlinear optical processes can be one of the challenges limiting even more widespread applications. Here we demonstrate a broadband and giant enhancement of nonlinear processes in ZnO through ultrafast permittivity engineering. A remarkable enhancement of the second and third harmonic generation of up to 2 orders of magnitude can be observed over a broadband range of driving wavelengths. Moreover, this nonlinearity enhancement is reversible with a recovery time of ∼120 fs. Additional experiments and simulations confirm that the observed enhancement originates from a permittivity change induced by the photocarrier population. Our results provide the opportunity to actively customize materials with a larger nonlinearity for nanophotonics on ultrafast time scales over broadband wavelength ranges. Utilizing this finding, we also demonstrate a relevant application, where a transient wave-guiding effect is induced by a donut-shaped photocarrier-excitation pulse, which both reduces the width of the spatial profile of harmonic emission below the diffraction limit and simultaneously increases its central emission strength.
