Electrical Control of Interband Resonant Nonlinear Optics in Monolayer MoS₂.

ABSTRACT: Monolayer transition-metal dichalcogenides show strong optical nonlinearity with great potential for various emerging applications. Here we demonstrate the gate-tunable interband resonant four-wave mixing and sum-frequency generation in monolayer MoS₂. Up to 80% modulation depth in four-wave mixing is achieved when the generated signal is resonant with the A exciton at room temperature, corresponding to an effective third-order optical nonlinearity |χ⁽³⁾_eff| tuning from (∼12.0 to 5.45) × 10^-18 m²/V². The tunability of the effective second-order optical nonlinearity |χ⁽²⁾_eff| at 440 nm C-exciton resonance wavelength is also demonstrated from (∼11.6 to 7.40) × 10^-9 m/V with sum-frequency genera
