    • Comparative analysis of ferroelectric domain statistics via nonlinear diffraction in random nonlinear materials 

      Wang, Bin; Switowski, K; Cojocaru, Crina; Roppo, V; Sheng, Yan; Escalora, M.; Kisielewski, J.; Pawlak, D.; Vilaseca Alavedra, Ramon; Akhouayri, H.; Krolikowski, Wieslaw; Trull Silvestre, José Francisco (2018-01-22)
      Article
      Open Access
      We present an indirect, non-destructive optical method for domain statistic characterization in disordered nonlinear crystals having homogeneous refractive index and spatially random distribution of ferroelectric domains. ...

    • Harmonic generation from metal-oxide and metal-metal boundaries 

      Escalora, M.; Vincenti, M. A.; de Ceglia, Domenico; Akozbek, Neset; Bloemer, M. J.; De Angelis, C.; Haus, J.W.; Vilaseca Alavedra, Ramon; Trull Silvestre, José Francisco; Cojocaru, Crina (American Physical Society (APS), 2018-08-20)
      Article
      Open Access
      We explore the outcomes of detailed microscopic models by calculating second- and third-harmonic generation from thin-film surfaces with discontinuous free-electron densities. These circumstances can occur in structures ...

    • Harmonic generation in the opaque region of GaAs: the role of the surface and magnetic nonlinearities 

      Rodríguez Suñé, Laura; Trull Silvestre, José Francisco; Escalora, M.; Vilaseca Alavedra, Ramon; Cojocaru, Crina (2019-08-29)
      Article
      Open Access
      Phase-locked second and third harmonic generation in the opaque region of a GaAs wafer is experimentally observed and analyzed both in transmission and reflection. These harmonic components, which are generated close to ...

    • Phase locked harmonic generation in the opaque region of GaAs 

      Cojocaru, Crina; Rodríguez Suñé, Laura; Escalora, M.; Trull Silvestre, José Francisco (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2019)
      Conference report
      Open Access
      We demonstrate second and third harmonic generation from a GaAs substrate, well-below the absorption edge, in both transmission and reflection geometries. The pump is tuned at 1064 nm, in the transparency range, while the ...

    • Reevaluation of radiation reaction and consequences for light-matter interactions at the nanoscale 

      Escalora, M.; Vinceti, Maria Antonietta; Ceglia, Domenico de; Trull Silvestre, José Francisco; Cojocaru, Crina (2018-06-27)
      Article
      Open Access
      In the context of electromagnetism and nonlinear optical interactions, damping is generally introduced as a phenomenological, viscous term that dissipates energy, proportional to the temporal derivative of the polarization. ...

    • Resonant, broadband, and highly efficient optical frequency conversion in semiconductor nanowire gratings at visible and UV wavelengths 

      Escalora, M.; Trull Silvestre, José Francisco; Cojocaru, Crina; Vincenti, M. A.; Carletti, Luca; Ceglia, Domenico de; Akozbek, Neset; De Angelis, C. (2019-08-01)
      Article
      Restricted access - publisher's policy
      Using a hydrodynamic approach, we examine bulk- and surface-induced second- and third-harmonic generationfrom semiconductor nanowire gratings having a resonant nonlinearity in the absorption region. We demonstrateresonant, ...

    • Study of second and third harmonic generation from an indium tin oxide nanolayer: Influence of nonlocal effects and hot electrons 

      Rodríguez Suñé, Laura; Escalora, M.; Johnson, Allan; Cojocaru, Crina; Akozbek, Neset; Coppens, Zachary; Perez Salinas, Daniel; Wall, Simon; Trull Silvestre, José Francisco (2020-01-03)
      Article
      Open Access
      We report comparative experimental and theoretical studies of the second and third harmonic generation from a 20 nm-thick indium tin oxide layer in proximity of the epsilon-near-zero condition. Using a tunable optical ...
