Towards compact phase-matched and waveguided nonlinear optics in atomically layered semiconductors

Xinyi Xu, Chiara Trovatello, Fabian Mooshammer +6

Nonlinear frequency conversion provides essential tools for light generation, photon entanglement, and manipulation. Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) possess huge nonlinear…

Nanoscale Optical Imaging of 2D Semiconductor Stacking Orders by Exciton-Enhanced Second Harmonic Generation

Kaiyuan Yao, Shuai Zhang, Emanuil Yanev +9

Second harmonic generation (SHG) is a nonlinear optical response arising exclusively from broken inversion symmetry in the electric-dipole limit. Recently, SHG has attracted widesp…

Nonlinear twistoptics at symmetry-broken interfaces

Kaiyuan Yao, Nathan R. Finney, Jin Zhang +17

Broken symmetries induce strong nonlinear optical responses in materials and at interfaces. Twist angle can give complete control over the presence or lack of inversion symmetry at…

The ultrafast onset of exciton formation in 2D semiconductors

Chiara Trovatello, Florian Katsch, Nicholas J. Borys +11

The equilibrium and non-equilibrium optical properties of single-layer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are determined by strongly bound excitons. Exciton relaxation dynamic…

Broadband optical parametric amplification by two-dimensional semiconductors

Chiara Trovatello, Andrea Marini, Xinyi Xu +11

Optical parametric amplification is a second-order nonlinear process whereby an optical signal is amplified by a pump via the generation of an idler field. It is the key ingredient…
