基于贵金属纳米孔/单层二维材料复合超构表面的二次谐波多维度调控

Second harmonic generation (SHG) in nanostructures has the advantages of stable signal, tunable wavelength, coherence, fast response and polarization sensitive, thus is a new coherent light source of nanometer size with good application prospect. How to improve the SHG conversion efficiency in the nanostructures and tailor the SHG response in multi-dimensionality is one of the research hotspots in the area of nanophotonics. However, as the second-order nonlinear susceptibility in noble metal materials is very small, usual metal metasurfaces are of insufficient to generate high efficient SHG. Aiming at this problem, we proposed a new paradigm of metal nanoholes and 2D material monolayer hybrid metasurface. By designing and fabricating different shape, size and arrangement of metal nanohole array, the phase and polarization of incident fundamental light can be tailored. The tailored fundamental light interacting with the 2D material monolayer of high second-order nonlinear susceptibility is able to increase the SHG conversion efficiency and meanwhile control the SHG phase, polarization and ultra-fast process. Therefore, our proposed hybrid metasurface can be used to realize various SHG functional devices, such as focusing, hologram, beam control and vector beams, which promote the application of multi-functional coherent light source of nanometer size in scanning laser microscopy, precise nano-detection and nonlinear nanodevices.
