Quasi-phase-matched up- and down-conversion in periodically poled layered semiconductors (https://arxiv.org/abs/2312.05444) Abstract: Nonlinear optics lies at the heart of classical and quantum light generation. The invention of periodic poling revolutionized nonlinear optics and its commercial applications by enabling robust quasi-phase-matching in crystals such as lithium niobate. Here we realize a periodically poled van der Waals semiconductor…
