Successful phase-matching methods for Third Harmonics Generation (THG) include phase-matching in birefringent crystal and quasi-phase-matching (QPM) in crystal with periodically poled domains. However, these methods are not feasible in some…
The concept of transformation optics is extended to nonlinear electrodynamics. It is shown that transformation optics favors implicit constitutive relations in terms of energy densities D.E and B.H rather than E^2 and H^2. The Kerr…
Materials with massless Dirac fermions can possess exceptionally strong and widely tunable optical nonlinearities. Experiments on graphene monolayer have indeed found very large third-order nonlinear responses, but the reported variation of…
Second-order nonlinear optical response allows to detect different properties of the system associated with the inversion symmetry breaking. Here, we use a second harmonic generation effect to investigate the alignment of a…
Optical harmonic generation occurs when high intensity light ($>10^{10}$W/m$^{2}$) interacts with a nonlinear material. Electrical control of the nonlinear optical response enables applications such as gate-tunable switches and frequency…
We elucidate the consequences of a phase-matching theory that describes second-harmonic generation of two non-collinear incident light beams that carry orbital angular momentum (OAM). More specifically, the two incident beams generate a…
The non-linear propagation of the intense near-infrared (NIR) driving field in wide bandgap materials pose a challenge and an opportunity to control the spectral properties of high harmonic generation (HHG) in solids. Here, we have…
High-harmonic generation (HHG), an extreme nonlinear effect, introduces an unprecedented paradigm to detect emergent quantum phases and electron dynamics inconceivable in the framework of linear and low-order nonlinear processes. As an…
The recent measurement of negative higher-order Kerr effect (HOKE) terms in gases has given rise to a controversial debate, fed by its impact on short laser pulse propagation. By comparing the experimentally measured yield of the third and…
We study theoretically and experimentally High Harmonic Generation (HHG) using two non collinear driving fields focused in gases. We show that these two fields form a non stationary blazed active grating in the generation medium. The…
Metasurfaces have emerged as a promising platform for integrated nonlinear optics. Nonlocal metasurfaces enable high nonlinear conversion efficiency, while the local ones can offer versatile wavefront control, yet achieving both within a…
Exciton effects on conjugated polymers and the resulting optical nonlinearities are investigated in soliton lattice states. We use the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model with long-range Coulomb interactions for electrons. The third-harmonic…
We demonstrate that the strongly nonlinear regime of the magnetic dynamics driven high harmonic generation (HHG) can be captured through an adiabatic treatment. The underlying instantaneous energy dispersion reveal a highly nonlinear term…
We investigate the nonlinear optical susceptibilities of Mott insulators with the dynamical mean field approximation. The two-photon absorption (TPA) and the third-harmonic generation (THG) spectra are calculated, and the classification by…
Harmonic generation is a general characteristic of driven nonlinear systems, and serves as an efficient tool for investigating the fundamental principles that govern the ultrafast nonlinear dynamics. In atomic gases, high-harmonic radiation…
High harmonic generation (HHG) is an established means of producing coherent, short wavelength, ultrafast pulses from a compact set-up. Table-top high-harmonic sources are increasingly being used to image physical and biological systems…
Second harmonic generation is a powerful tool directly connected to the symmetry of materials. Phase transitions, lattice rotations or electromagnetic coupling in multiferroic compounds can be revealed by using second harmonic…
Recent techniques have allowed transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) monolayers to be grown and adequately characterised. Of particular interest, their nonlinear optical response presents many promising opportunities for future…
The extreme nonlinear optical process of high-harmonic generation (HHG) makes it possible to map the properties of a laser beam onto a radiating electron wavefunction, and in turn, onto the emitted x-ray light. Bright HHG beams typically…
We present a calculation of Third Harmonic Generation (THG) for two-band systems using the length gauge that avoids unphysical divergences otherwise present in the evaluation of the third order current density response. The calculation is…
