Abstract
Strong second harmonic generation (SHG) was observed when the two-photon energy matches to the self-trapped exciton resonance states in the lattice inversion symmetric system of two-dimensional (2D) KNbO2 crystals. It is ascribed to the symmetry broken induced by the bending distortion of O−Nb−O in individual octahedrons (low frequency T2g modes) that coupling to the two-photon frequency. The quantum confinement SHG response with more than one orders of enhancement is obtained due to the phonon-exciton-photon interaction with dimension reduction. In addition, the exciton-phonon interaction couples SHG photons to a non-equilibrium energy with a Stokes or anti-Stokes energy splitting of ∼18–21 meV, which is corresponding to the Raman shift of T2g modes.
期刊介绍:
Applied Physics Letters (APL) features concise, up-to-date reports on significant new findings in applied physics. Emphasizing rapid dissemination of key data and new physical insights, APL offers prompt publication of new experimental and theoretical papers reporting applications of physics phenomena to all branches of science, engineering, and modern technology.
In addition to regular articles, the journal also publishes invited Fast Track, Perspectives, and in-depth Editorials which report on cutting-edge areas in applied physics.
APL Perspectives are forward-looking invited letters which highlight recent developments or discoveries. Emphasis is placed on very recent developments, potentially disruptive technologies, open questions and possible solutions. They also include a mini-roadmap detailing where the community should direct efforts in order for the phenomena to be viable for application and the challenges associated with meeting that performance threshold. Perspectives are characterized by personal viewpoints and opinions of recognized experts in the field.
Fast Track articles are invited original research articles that report results that are particularly novel and important or provide a significant advancement in an emerging field. Because of the urgency and scientific importance of the work, the peer review process is accelerated. If, during the review process, it becomes apparent that the paper does not meet the Fast Track criterion, it is returned to a normal track.
