Abstract Graphene plasmons with enhanced localized electric field have been used for boosting the light-matter interaction in linear optical nano-devices. Meanwhile, graphene is an excellent nonlinear material for several third-order nonlinear processes. We present a theoretical investigation of the mechanism of plasmon-enhanced third-order nonlinearity susceptibility of graphene nanoribbons. It is demonstrated that the third-order nonlinearity susceptibility of graphene nanoribbons with excited graphene surface plasmon polaritons can be an order of magnitude larger than the intrinsic susceptibility of a continuous graphene sheet. Combining these properties with the relaxed phase matching condition due to the ultrathin graphene, we propose a novel plasmon-enhanced mid-infrared wavelength converter with arrays of graphene nanoribbons. The wavelength of sig-nal light is in mid-infrared range, which can excite the tunable surface plasmon polaritons in arrays of graphene nanoribbons. The efficiency of the converter from mid-infrared to near-infrared wavelength can be remarkably improved by 60 times compared with the graphene sheet without graphene plasmons. This work provides a novel idea for the efficient application of graphene in the nonlinear optical nano-devices. The proposed mid-infrared wavelength converter is compact, tunable and has promising potential in graphene-based mid-infrared detector with high detection efficiency.

Aims. The ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter was sent to Mars in March 2016 to search for trace gases diagnostic of active geological or biogenic processes. Methods. We report the first observation of the spectral features of Martian ozone (O3) in the mid-infrared range using the Atmospheric Chemistry Suite Mid-InfaRed (MIR) channel, a cross-dispersion spectrometer operating in solar occultation mode with the finest spectral resolution of any remote sensing mission to Mars. Results. Observations of ozone were made at high northern latitudes (>65°N) prior to the onset of the 2018 global dust storm (Ls = 163–193°). During this fast transition phase between summer and winter ozone distribution, the O3 volume mixing ratio observed is 100–200 ppbv near 20 km. These amounts are consistent with past observations made at the edge of the southern polar vortex in the ultraviolet range. The observed spectral signature of ozone at 3000–3060 cm−1 directly overlaps with the spectral range of the methane (CH4) ν3 vibration-rotation band, and it, along with a newly discovered CO2 band in the same region, may interfere with measurements of methane abundance.
