The mechanism of DC-Electric-Field-Induced Second-Harmonic (EFISH) generation at weakly nonlinear buried Si(001)-SiO$_2$ interfaces is studied experimentally in planar Si(001)-SiO$_2$-Cr MOS structures by optical second-harmonic generation (SHG) spectroscopy with a tunable Ti:sapphire femtosecond laser. The spectral dependence of the EFISH contribution near the direct two-photon $E_1$ transition of silicon is extracted. A systematic phenomenological model of the EFISH phenomenon, including a detailed description of the space charge region (SCR) at the semiconductor-dielectric interface in accumulation, depletion, and inversion regimes, has been developed. The influence of surface quantization effects, interface states, charge traps in the oxide layer, doping concentration and oxide thickness on nonlocal screening of the DC-electric field and on breaking of inversion symmetry in the SCR is considered. The model describes EFISH generation in the SCR using a Green function formalism which takes into account all retardation and absorption effects of the fundamental and second harmonic (SH) waves, optical interference between field-dependent and field-independent contributions to the SH field and multiple reflection interference in the SiO$_2$ layer. Good agreement between the phenomenological model and our recent and new EFISH spectroscopic results is demonstrated. Finally, low-frequency electromodulated EFISH is demonstrated as a useful differential spectroscopic technique for studies of the Si-SiO$_2$ interface in silicon-based MOS structures.

The second-harmonic interferometric spectroscopy (SHIS) which combines both amplitude (intensity) and phase spectra of the second-harmonic (SH) radiation is proposed as a new spectroscopic technique being sensitive to the type of critical points (CPs
) of combined density of states at semiconductor surfaces. The increased sensitivity of SHIS technique is demonstrated for the buried Si(111)-SiO$_2$ interface for SH photon energies from 3.6 eV to 5 eV and allows to separate the resonant contributions from $E^prime_0/E_1$, $E_2$ and $E^prime_1$ CPs of silicon.
Optical second-harmonic generation is demonstrated to be a sensitive probe of the buried interface between the lattice matched semiconductors gallium phosphide and silicon with (001) orientation. Rotational anisotropy measurements of SHG from GaP/Si
show a strong isotropic component of the response not present for pure Si(001) or GaP(001). The strength of the overlaying anisotropic response directly correlates with the quality of the interface as determined by atomically resolved scanning transmission electron microscopy.Optical second-harmonic generation is demonstrated to be a sensitive probe of the buried interface between the lattice matched semiconductors gallium phosphide and silicon with (001) orientation.

Systematic comparison of samples fabricated with different growth modes in metal organic vapor phase epitaxy reveals that the anisotropy for different polarization combinations can be used as a selective fingerprint for the occurrence of anti-phase domains and twins. This all-optical technique can be applied as an {it in-situ} and non-invasive monitor even during growth.

We investigate type I second harmonic generation in III-V semiconductor wire waveguides aligned with a crystallographic axis. In this direction, because of the single nonzero tensor element of III-V semiconductors, only frequency conversion by mixing
with the longitudinal components of the optical fields is allowed. We experimentally study the impact of the propagation direction on the conversion efficiency and confirm the role played by the longitudinal components through the excitation of an antisymmetric second harmonic higher order mode.
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.
Silicon photonics lacks a second-order nonlinear optical response in general because the typical constituent materials are centro-symmetric and lack inversion symmetry, which prohibits second-order nonlinear processes such as second harmonic generati
on (SHG). Here, for the first time, we realize efficient SHG in a silicon-based optical microresonator by combining a strong photo-induced effective second-order nonlinearity with resonant enhancement and perfect-phase matching. We show a record-high conversion efficiency of 2,500 %/W, which is 2 to 4 orders of magnitude larger than previous works. In particular, our devices realize mW-level SHG output powers with > 20 % power conversion efficiency. This demonstration is a major breakthrough in realizing efficient second-order nonlinear processes in silicon photonics, and paves the way for integrated self-referencing of Kerr frequency combs for compact optical frequency synthesis and optical clock technologies.
