Popis:	Ultrafast photon-assisted tunneling is shown to lead to large nonlinear dynamic currents that can be used to generate dc rectified current as well as higher order harmonic response from a metasurface-coupled tunnel diode. This artificial nonlinear media can have tailored resonances in the infrared around the longitudinal optical phonon modes of various compatible restrahlen oxides leading to enhanced electric field confinement in a metal-oxide-semiconductor tunnel diode. This provides a new avenue for the examination and design of nonlinear phenomena extending the concept of nonlinear susceptibility to nonlinear conductance and the dynamic current in these devices. Comment: 10 pages, 5 figures
