Nonlinear metasurfaces are advancing into a new paradigm of flat nonlinear optics owing to the ability to engineer local nonlinear responses in subwavelength-thin films. Recently, attempts have been made to expand the design space of nonlinear metasurfaces through nonlinear chiral responses. However, the development of metasurfaces that display both giant nonlinear circular dichroism and significantly large nonlinear optical response is still an unresolved challenge. Herein, we propose a method that induces giant nonlinear responses with near-unity circular dichroism using polaritonic metasurfaces with optical modes in chiral plasmonic nanocavities coupled with intersubband transitions in semiconductor heterostructures designed to have giant second and third order nonlinear responses. A stark contrast between effective nonlinear susceptibility elements for the two spin states of circularly polarized pump beams was seen in the hybrid structure. Experimentally, near-unity nonlinear circular dichroism and conversion efficiencies beyond 10(-4)% for second- and third-harmonic generation were achieved simultaneously in a single chip.
