Probing and manipulating the intriguing nonlinear optical responses in van der Waals (vdW) ferroelectrics offer opportunities for their applications in nanophotonics. Here, we report the observation of giant and tunable second-harmonic generation (SHG) in ferroelectric CuInPS (CIPS) and CIPS/MoS heterostructures. The results show that CIPS, ranging from multilayer to bulk-like samples, all exhibit strong SHG with giant anisotropy. The SHG anisotropy is attributed to the local strain along the -axis that naturally exists in CIPS, as evidenced by piezoresponse force microscopy measurement. We further realized the strong modulation of SHG in CIPS by interfacing with monolayer MoS. A combination of polarization, temperature, and thickness-dependent SHG and photoluminescence analyses shows that the nonlinear optical signal control in CIPS/MoS heterostructures is unrelated to the polar symmetry of CIPS and MoS but is driven by light absorption-mediated interfacial coupling. Our study provides a material platform based on vdW ferroelectric heterostructures for achieving dynamic control of nonlinear optical responses, which shows great potential applications in modern nanophotonics.

Background: The development of heat transfer devices used for heat conversion and recovery in several industrial and residential applications has long focused on improving heat transfer between two parallel plates. Numerous articles have examined the relevance of enhancing thermal performance for the system's performance and economics. Heat transport is improved by increasing the Reynolds number as the turbulent effects grow.

The degradation of methylene blue dye-contaminated wastewater via photocatalysis is an efficient approach towards environmental remediation. The SrZrO perovskite photocatalyst was synthesized using the modified Pechini sol-gel method, and characterized using XRD, FESEM, FTIR, and UV-visible spectrophotometer. Crystallite size obtained by the Scherrer and Williamson-Hall methods were 45.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFLow-temperature phase (β-form) barium borate (BBO) is one of the most important nonlinear crystals that has been widely used for optical second-harmonic generation (SHG), especially with femtosecond sources. There was growing interest in its applications in the direct generation of terahertz (THz) radiations, but it was hindered by the lack of knowledge of its basic properties in the THz range. In a recent study based on first-principles quantum chemistry calculation, we found that the theoretically calculated refractive indices of β-BBO in the THz frequency range do not agree with the previously reported values.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFLithium niobate (LiNbO) has shown great potential for applications in nonlinear metasurfaces, thanks to its large second-order nonlinear coefficients and high integration capabilities. Optical resonances play a crucial role in further enhancing the nonlinear optical responses of LiNbO metasurfaces (LNMS). In this study, both numerically and experimentally, we designed and fabricated a metasurface structure that supports toroidal dipole (TD) resonance to enhance second-harmonic generation (SHG).

However, most NAF implementations rely on additional optoelectronic devices or digital computers, reducing the benefits of optical computing. To address this, we propose what we believe to be the first implementation of a nonlinear modulation process using an electro-optic IQ modulator on a silicon photonic convolution operator chip as a novel NAF.
