Abstract
We demonstrate polarization-independent resonant-enhancement of second harmonic generation (SHG) from multilayer Gallium Selenide (GaSe) on a silicon-based resonant metasurface. Two-dimensional hexagonal photonic lattice with circularly symmetric silicon meta-atoms are designed to achieve resonant field enhancement at the fundamental wavelength independent of the incident polarization direction. Such structures are however found to exhibit strong resonant field depolarization effects at the fundamental excitation fields resulting in modified nonlinear polarization components when compared to the native GaSe layer. Furthermore, the sub-wavelength metasurface designed to have resonances at the fundamental wavelengths act as a higher order diffraction grating at the second harmonic wavelength. Nonlinear wave propagation simulations show that the higher order diffracted SHG exhibit strong polarization dependent enhancement with characteristics very different from the native GaSe layer. In this context, polarization independent enhancement of the second harmonic signal is achieved only for the zeroth order diffracted component. Experimental study of second harmonic generation from the GaSe layer integrated with the silicon metasurface shows maximum nonlinear signal enhancement on-resonance with polarization dependence identical to the native GaSe layer by selectively detecting the zeroth-order diffracted component. This work shows that it is not sufficient to use symmetric meta-atoms in such 2D material integrated resonant metasurfaces for achieving polarization independent nonlinear optical enhancement. Depolarization of the resonant fields and higher-order diffraction at the nonlinear signal wavelength need to be considered as well. © 2020 Optical Society of America.
