| 5 | A universal route to efficient non-linear response via Thomson scattering in linear solids显示文摘Non-linear materials are cornerstones of modern optics and electronics.Strong dependence on the intrinsic properties of particular materials,however,inhibits the at-will extension of demanding non-linear effects,especially those second-order ones,to widely adopted centrosymmetric materials(for example,silicon)and te chnologically important burgeoning spectral domains(for example,terahertz frequencies).Here we introduce a universal route to efficient non-linear responses enabled by exciting non-linear Thomson scattering,a fundamental process in electrodynamics that was known to occur only in relativistic electrons in metamaterial composed of linear materials.Such a mechanism modulates the trajectory of charges,either intrinsically or extrinsically provided in solids,at twice the driving frequency,allowing second-harmonic generation at terahertz frequencies on crystalline silicon with extremely large non-linear susceptibility in our proof-of-concept experiments.By offering a substantially material-and frequency-independent platform,our approach opens new possibilities in the fields of on-demand non-linear optics,terahertz sources,strong field light-solid interactions and integrated photonic circuits. | Yongzheng Wen Flavio Giorgianni Igor Ilyakov Baogang Quan Sergey Kovalev Chen Wang Carlo Vicario Jan-Christoph Deinert Xiaoyu Xiong Joe Bailey Min Chen Alexey Ponomaryov Nilesh Awari Andrea Rovere Jingbo Sun Roberto Morandotti Luca Razzari Gabriel Aeppli Junjie Li Ji Zhou | 2023 | National Science Review2023，10，7： | 0 |
