High repetition rate femtosecond filaments in transparent solids produce conical third harmonic generation due to filament-induced material reorganization in the form of periodic volume nanogratings. Here we report on conical third harmonic generation that accompanies supercontinuum generation in fused silica using broadly tunable femtosecond pulses. The measurement of third harmonic cone angles with driving wavelengths in the 1-3-m range fully supports the noncollinear phase-matching scenario that involves a reciprocal lattice vector of the filament-inscribed nanograting. The nanograting provides an octave-spanning phase-matching bandwidth, as attested by the measurements of the angle-resolved spectra of broadband conical third harmonic emission.

This study investigates the nonlinear dynamics of a system with frequency-dependent stiffness using a MEMS-based capacitive inertial sensor as a case study. The sensor is positioned directly on a rotating component of a machine and consists of a microbeam clamped at both ends by fixed supports with a fixed central proof mass. The nonlinear behavior is determined by electrostatic forces, axial and bending motion coupling, and frequency-dependent stiffness.

The current intense study of ferroelectric nematic liquid crystals was initiated by the observation of the same ferroelectric nematic phase in two independently discovered organic, rod-shaped, mesogenic compounds, RM734 and DIO. We recently reported that the compound RM734 also exhibits a monotropic, low-temperature, apolar phase having reentrant isotropic symmetry (the I phase), the formation of which is facilitated to a remarkable degree by doping with small (below 1%) amounts of the ionic liquid BMIM-PF. Here we report similar phenomenology in DIO, showing that this reentrant isotropic behavior is not only a property of RM734 but is rather a more general, material-independent feature of ferroelectric nematic mesogens.

We present a comprehensive analysis of the optical attributes of graphene sheets with charge carriers residing on a curved substrate. In particular, we focus on the fascinating case of Beltrami geometry and provide an explicit parametrization for this curved two-dimensional surface. By employing the massless Dirac description that is characteristic of graphene, we investigate the impact of the curved geometry on the optical properties within the sample.

Three two-dimensional (2D) chiral Ag(I) complexes with formulas [Ag(L)(5-nipa)] (), [Ag(L)(5-nipa)] (), and {[Ag(L)(5-hipa)]·2HO} () were prepared through the reactions of AgO with enantiopure -monodentate N-donors (L/L) and different dicarboxylic acids bearing A (acceptor)-π-- and D (donor)-π--type structural features, where / = (-)/(+)-2-(4'-pyridyl)-4,5-pinene-pyridine, 5-Hnipa = 5-nitroisophthalic acid, and 5-Hhipa = 5-hydroxyisophthalic acid. A study of their nonlinear optical responses reveals that chiral and enantiomeric pairs with the A-π--type dicarboxylic acid ligand simultaneously display second- and third-harmonic generation (SHG and THG) responses, while chiral containing the D-π--type dicarboxylic acid ligand only exhibits a very strong THG response. The THG intensity of is 451 × α-SiO, being about 27 and 24 times larger than those of and , respectively.

Graphene has unique properties paving the way for groundbreaking future applications. Its large optical nonlinearity and ease of integration in devices notably makes it an ideal candidate to become a key component for all-optical switching and frequency conversion applications. In the terahertz (THz) region, various approaches have been independently demonstrated to optimize the nonlinear effects in graphene, addressing a critical limitation arising from the atomically thin interaction length.
