Cavity nonlinear optics with layered materials

Abstract

Unprecedented material compatibility and ease of integration, in addition to the unique and diverse optoelectronic properties of layered materials have generated significant interest in their utilization in nanophotonic devices. While initial nanophotonic experiments primarily focused on light-sources, modulators, and detectors, recently researchers have demonstrated nonlinear optical devices using layered materials. In this paper, we review the current state of cavity-enhanced nonlinear optics with layered materials. Along with conventional nonlinear optics related to harmonic generation, we report on emerging directions of nonlinear optics, where the layered materials can potentially play a significant role.
