We proposed a mechanism to generate giant anisotropic second harmonic nonlinear response via double resonance effect, achieved through electronic bandstructure engineering. The ideal band setup would be a triplet of nested bands separated by the fundamental resonance energy, $hbaromega$. We demonstrate theoretically that the proposed phenomenon can be realized in bilayer SnS by band tuning with perpendicular electrical bias, which maximizes the second harmonic susceptibility by several orders of magnitude. Moreover, the tunability of the polarization anisotropy can be useful for realizing novel polarization-sensitive devices.

Silica-based optical fibers are a workhorse of nonlinear optics. They have been used to demonstrate nonlinear phenomena such as solitons and self-phase modulation. Since the introduction of the photonic crystal fiber, they have found many exciting ap
plications, such as supercontinuum white light sources and third-harmonic generation, among others. They stand out by their low loss, large interaction length, and the ability to engineer its dispersive properties, which compensate for the small chi(3) nonlinear coefficient. However, they have one fundamental limitation: due to the amorphous nature of silica, they do not exhibit second-order nonlinearity, except for minor contributions from surfaces. Here, we demonstrate significant second-harmonic generation in functionalized optical fibers with a monolayer of highly nonlinear MoS2 deposited on the fiber guiding core. The demonstration is carried out in a 3.5 mm short piece of exposed core fiber, which was functionalized in a scalable process CVD-based process, without a manual transfer step. This approach is scalable and can be generalized to other transition metal dichalcogenides and other waveguide systems. We achieve an enhancement of more than 1000x over a reference sample of equal length. Our simple proof-of-principle demonstration does not rely on either phase matching to fundamental modes, or ordered growth of monolayer crystals, suggesting that pathways for further improvement are within reach. Our results do not just demonstrate a new path towards efficient in-fiber SHG-sources, instead, they establish a platform with a new route to chi(2)-based nonlinear fiber optics, optoelectronics, and photonics platforms, integrated optical architectures, and active fiber networks.
We theoretically study the generation of optical frequency combs and corresponding pulse trains in doubly resonant intracavity second-harmonic generation (SHG). We find that, despite the large temporal walk-off characteristic of realistic cavity syst
ems, the nonlinear dynamics can be accurately and efficiently modelled using a pair of coupled mean-field equations. Through rigorous stability analysis of the systems steady-state continuous wave solutions, we demonstrate that walk-off can give rise to a new, previously unexplored regime of temporal modulation instability (MI). Numerical simulations performed in this regime reveal rich dynamical behaviours, including the emergence of temporal patterns that correspond to coherent optical frequency combs. We also demonstrate that the two coupled equations that govern the doubly resonant cavity behaviour can, under typical conditions, be reduced to a single mean-field equation akin to that describing the dynamics of singly resonant cavity SHG [F. Leo et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 116, 033901 (2016)]. This reduced approach allows us to derive a simple expression for the MI gain, thus permitting to acquire significant insight into the underlying physics. We anticipate that our work will have wide impact on the study of frequency combs in emerging doubly resonant cavity SHG platforms, including quadratically nonlinear microresonators.
We study second harmonic generation in nonlinear, GaAs gratings. We find large enhancement of conversion efficiency when the pump field excites the guided mode resonances of the grating. Under these circumstances the spectrum near the pump wavelength
displays sharp resonances characterized by dramatic enhancements of local fields and favorable conditions for second harmonic generation, even in regimes of strong linear absorption at the harmonic wavelength. In particular, in a GaAs grating pumped at 1064nm, we predict second harmonic conversion efficiencies approximately five orders of magnitude larger than conversion rates achievable in either bulk or etalon structures of the same material.
Second harmonic generation (SHG) is a coherent nonlinear phenomenon that plays an important role in laser color conversion. Lithium niobate (LN), which features both a large band gap and outstanding second-order nonlinearities, acts as an important o
ptical material for nonlinear frequency conversion covering a wide spectral range from ultraviolet to mid-infrared. Here we experimentally demonstrate LN metasurfaces with controllable SHG properties. Distinct enhancements for the SHG efficiency are observed at Mie-resonances. And by changing the geometric parameters thus the resonances of the metasurfaces, we manage to selectively boost the SHG efficiency at different wavelengths. Our results would pave a way for developing with high flexibility the novel compact nonlinear light sources for applications, such as biosensing and optical communications.
Light modulation is an essential operation in photonics and optoelectronics. With existing and emerging technologies increasingly demanding compact, efficient, fast and broadband optical modulators, high-performance light modulation solutions are bec
oming indispensable. The recent realization that two-dimensional layered materials could modulate light with superior performance has prompted intense research and significant advances, paving the way for realistic applications. In this review, we cover the state-of-the-art of optical modulators based on two-dimensional layered materials including graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides and black phosphorus. We discuss recent advances employing hybrid structures, such as two-dimensional heterostructures, plasmonic structures, and silicon/fibre integrated structures. We also take a look at future perspectives and discuss the potential of yet relatively unexplored mechanisms such as magneto-optic and acousto-optic modulation.
