摘要：The intrinsic anisotropy of NbSe2 provides a favorable prerequisite of second harmonic generation (SHG) and rich possibilities for tailoring its nonlinear optical (NLO) properties. Here we report the highly efficient SHG of mechanically exfoliated NbSe2 flakes. The nonlinear optical response changes with excitation wavelengths, layer thicknesses, and polarizations of the excitation laser. The anisotropic SHG response further exhibits the intrinsic non-centrosymmetric crystal structure and could effectively assign the crystalline orientation of NbSe2 flakes. Interestingly, although NbSe2 flakes with tens of nanometers thickness experience attenuations in SHG performance, more efficient SHG anisotropy ratios were obtained, which are around 4 times higher than that of the 5-layer counterpart. The determined second-order nonlinearities of NbSe2 flakes (monolayer: ∼1.0 × 103 pm/V; 3-layer: ∼73 pm/V) are comparable to those of the commonly reported two-dimensional materials (e.g., MoS2, WSe2, graphene) with the same number of layers and much higher than those of commercial nonlinear optical crystals.
