Article Abstract
The nonlinear susceptibility in the terahertz region is expected to have a non-negligible imaginary part originating from the momentum-dependent scattering time of free carriers, but it has been scarcely reported. By utilizing an intense 4 THz beam from a terahertz free electron laser, we investigated the azimuth angle dependence of the third harmonic generation (THG) from semiconductors. The observed angular anisotropy of THG revealed the contribution of the imaginary part of the nonlinear susceptibility originating from the momentum-scattering time relation in addition to its real part originating from the band nonparabolicity. The results provide a deeper understanding of nonlinear optics in the terahertz region.

NbOCl has garnered interest owing to its second-order nonlinear optical properties, but the influence of thickness on its third-harmonic generation (THG) and excited-state dynamics has not been fully investigated. Here, mechanically exfoliated NbOCl flakes were found to produce THG and second-harmonic generation (SHG), simultaneously, and to show a nonmonotonic dependence on sample thickness. The increase in thickness leads to a decrease in the bandgap.

A computational protocol is developed to evaluate the second- and third-order nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of donor-acceptor benzene derivatives, incorporating ab initio electron correlation, frequency dispersion, and solvent effects, with the aim of achieving high predictive accuracy. The computational scheme encompasses (i) high-level CCSD(T) calculations of the static first (β) and second (γ) hyperpolarizabilities, (ii) the assessment of the performance of the CAM-B3LYP and M06-2X exchange-correlation DFT functionals to evaluate β and γ values, (iii) the use, after assessment of its effectiveness, of the multiplicative scheme to evaluate second harmonic generation responses, (iv) the evaluation of the frequency dispersion factors on β and γ by using Bishop's frequency-dispersion polynomials, and their use, in combination with the multiplicative correction scheme, to evaluate third harmonic generation second hyperpolarizabilities. This hybrid approach is shown to closely reproduce the experimental trends, although systematic quantitative deviations still remain with respect to experimental values.

Compared with the conventional mirror-coupled BIC, the merging BIC exhibits a higher Q-factor and local field enhancement at the same in-plane wavevector . Further, merging mirror-coupled BICs can combine the advantage of mirror-coupled BICs without breaking the symmetry of the nanostructure and the superiority of merging BICs, which is robust to imperfections of the nanostructure.
