Substrate thickness significantly impacts nonlinear optical (NLO) signals in 2D materials. Optimizing silicon dioxide (SiO2) layer thickness enhances NLO signals like nonlinear photoluminescence (NPL) in graphene by up to 40-fold.

Area of Science:

  • Nonlinear optics
  • Materials science
  • Condensed matter physics

Background:

  • Two-dimensional (2D) materials exhibit diverse nonlinear optical (NLO) properties, crucial for applications.
  • Current research primarily focuses on intrinsic NLO processes, neglecting substrate influence.
  • Substrate properties, particularly silicon dioxide (SiO2) thickness, are under-explored in NLO studies of 2D materials.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the influence of SiO2 substrate thickness on NLO signals in 2D materials.
  • To determine the optimal SiO2 thickness for enhancing NLO measurements.
  • To validate findings with a numerical model and extend to various NLO phenomena.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic measurement of nonlinear photoluminescence (NPL) intensity of graphene on SiO2/Si substrates with varying SiO2 thicknesses (270 nm, 125 nm, etc.).

  • Excitation using a pump wavelength range of 800-1100 nm.
  • Extension of measurements to transient absorption (TA) and second harmonic generation (SHG) for graphene and MoS2.

    • Main Results:

    • A significant dependence of NLO signals on SiO2 thickness was discovered.
    • A 40-fold enhancement in graphene's NPL signal was observed by reducing SiO2 thickness from 270 nm to 125 nm.
    • Numerical modeling based on back reflection and interference corroborated the experimental findings.
    • Similar effects of SiO2 thickness were confirmed for TA and SHG signals in graphene and MoS2.

    Conclusions:

    • The thickness of the SiO2 substrate plays a critical role in modulating NLO signals from 2D materials.
    • Strategic selection of SiO2 substrate thickness can significantly enhance NLO signal detection.
    • These findings provide essential guidance for optimizing experimental setups in 2D material NLO research.
