Polarization-resolved second and third harmonic generation in 2D materials
Abstract
In this PhD thesis, second and third harmonic generation (SHG, THG) produced by 2D materials, when they interact with laser field, are explored. By employing laser-scanning using galvanometric mirrors, spatially resolved SHG or THG intensities, forming images, are recorded, while rotating the linear polarization of the excitation laser field, performing polarization-resolved SHG or THG (P-SHG, P-THG) microscopy imaging. The experimental data are then fitted with equations based on suitable nonlinear optics models. The demonstrated methods are all-optical, large-area, minimally-invasive and rapid. In the first work (Chapter 2), P-SHG imaging in an atomically thin WS2 crystal is performed, which belongs to the transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). Information on the crystallographic direction distribution is revealed, and the superiority of a P-SHG analysis over intensity-only SHG measurements is experimentally demonstrated. In the second work (Chapter 3), a nonlinear optical imaging ...
