Abstract
En 中文
Phase matching is known to enhance the nonlinear optical response in materials with a non-centrosymmetric crystallographic or electronic structure. In contrast, phase-matched frequency doubling driven by non-centrosymmetric magnetism that induces acentricity in otherwise centrosymmetric structures has not been reported yet. In our study we demonstrate the emergence of magnetically driven second-harmonic generation (SHG) with phase matching in MnWO4. The phase-matched wavelength for SHG can be tuned continuously between 450 nm to 630 nm with the conversion efficiency being determined by the refractive indices and their dispersion. Our findings reveal a new strategy towards magnetismbased conversion-materials and a route for controlling the nonlinear signal yield by acting primarily on the material's spin degree of freedom rather than employing its electronic or structural properties.
