Abstract

Interfacial second harmonic generation (SHG) switching mediated by insulator–metal phase transition of VO2 can serve as switchable and ultracompact nonlinear optical elements for on-chip logical optical operations. We propose that enhanced conversion efficiency and switching ratio of interfacial SHG in telecom band can be achieved with multilayer InSe/VO2 heterostructure, which has been comprehensively validated by a theoretical model of interfacial SHG and SHG spectra measurements. Our results provide solid guidance for designing interfacial SHG switching devices of high performance.
