Abstract
We report the first detailed characterization of the sheet third-harmonic optical susceptibility, ? (3) s, of tungsten diselenide (WSe2). With a home-built multiphoton microscope setup developed to study harmonics generation, we map the second and third-harmonic intensities as a function of position in the sample, pump power and polarization angle, for single- and few-layers flakes of WSe2. We register a value of |? (3) s|? 0.9×10-28m3 V-2 at a fundamental excitation frequency of ? = 0.8 eV, which is comparable in magnitude to the third-harmonic susceptibility of other group-VI transition metal dichalcogenides. The simultaneously recorded sheet second-harmonic susceptibility is found to be |? (2) s| ? 0.7 × 10-19 m2 V-1 in very good agreement on the order of magnitude with recent reports for WSe2, which asserts the robustness of our values for |? (3) s|. © 2018 The Author(s).
