Semiconducting Transition Metal Dichalcogenides (TMDs) have significant nonlinear optical effects. In this work we have used second-harmonic generation (SHG) and the four-wave mixing (FWM) spectroscopy in resonance with the excitons in MoS2, MoSe2, and WS2 monolayers to characterize the nonlinear optical properties of these materials. We show that trions and excitons are responsible for enhancing the nonlinear optical response, and determine the exciton and trion energies by comparing with the photoluminescence spectra. Moreover, we extract the second and third order optical sheet susceptibility near exciton energies and compare with values found in the literature. We also demonstrate the ability to generate different nonlinear effects in a wide spectral range in the visible region for monolayer MoS2, opening the possibility of using two-dimensional materials for nonlinear optoelectronic and photonic applications.

In this work, we present the analytical expression for the second order divergence in the third order DC response of a cold semiconductor, which can be probed by different electric field setups. Results from this expression were then compared, for th e response of the gapped graphene monolayer, with numerical results from a velocity gauge calculation of the third order conductivity. The good agreement between the two validates our analytical expression.
We examine the excitonic nature of high-lying optical transitions in single-walled carbon nanotubes by means of Rayleigh scattering spectroscopy. A careful analysis of the principal transitions of individual semiconducting and metallic nanotubes reve als that in both cases the lineshape is consistent with an excitonic model, but not one of free-carriers. For semiconducting species, side-bands are observed at ~200 meV above the third and fourth optical transitions. These features are ascribed to exciton-phonon bound states. Such side-bands are not apparent for metallic nanotubes,as expected from the reduced strength of excitonic interactions in these systems.
We theoretically investigate the impact of excited states on the dynamics of the exciton ground state in diluted magnetic semiconductor quantum wells. Exploiting the giant Zeeman shift in these materials, an external magnetic field is used to bring t ransitions between the exciton ground state and excited states close to resonance. It turns out that, when treating the exciton dynamics in terms of a quantum kinetic theory beyond the Markov approximation, higher exciton states are populated already well below the critical magnetic field required to bring the exciton ground state in resonance to an excited state. This behavior is explained by exciton-impurity correlations that can bridge energy differences on the order of a few meV and require a quantum kinetic description beyond the independent-particle picture. Of particular interest is the significant spin transfer toward states on the optically dark $2p$ exciton parabola which are protected against radiative decay.
We derive the nonlinear optical conductivity of an isotropic electron fluid at frequencies below the interparticle collision rate. In this regime, governed by hydrodynamics, the conductivity acquires a universal form at any temperature, chemical pote ntial, and spatial dimension. We show that the nonlinear response of the fluid to a uniform field is dominated by the third-order conductivity tensor $sigma^{(3)}$ whose magnitude and temperature dependence differ qualitatively from those in the conventional kinetic regime of higher frequencies. We obtain explicit formulas for $sigma^{(3)}$ for Dirac materials such as graphene and Weyl semimetals. We make predictions for the third-harmonic generation, renormalization of the collective-mode spectrum, and the third-order circular magnetic birefringence experiments.
Monolayer and few-layer phosphorene are anisotropic quasi-two-dimensional (quasi-2D) van der Waals (vdW) semiconductors with a linear-dichroic light-matter interaction and a widely-tunable direct-band gap in the infrared frequency range. Despite rece nt theoretical predictions of strongly-bound excitons with unique properties, it remains experimentally challenging to probe the excitonic quasiparticles due to the severe oxidation during device fabrication. In this study, we report observation of strongly-bound excitons and trions with highly-anisotropic optical properties in intrinsic bilayer phosphorene, which are protected from oxidation by encapsulation with hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), in a field-effect transistor (FET) geometry. Reflection contrast and photoluminescence spectroscopy clearly reveal the linear-dichroic optical spectra from anisotropic excitons and trions in the hBN-encapsulated bilayer phosphorene. The optical resonances from the exciton Rydberg series indicate that the neutral exciton binding energy is over 100 meV even with the dielectric screening from hBN. The electrostatic injection of free holes enables an additional optical resonance from a positive trion (charged exciton) ~ 30 meV below the optical bandgap of the charge-neutral system. Our work shows exciting possibilities for monolayer and few-layer phosphorene as a platform to explore many-body physics and novel photonics and optoelectronics based on strongly-bound excitons with two-fold anisotropy.
