Cavity nonlinear optics with layered materials

Unprecedented material compatibility and ease of integration, in addition to the unique and diverse opto-electronic properties of layered materials, have generated significant interest in their utilization in nanophotonic devices. While initial nanophotonic experiments with layered materials primarily focused on light sources, modulators, and detectors, recent efforts have included nonlinear optical devices. In this paper, we review the current state of cavity-enhanced nonlinear optics with layered materials. Along with conventional non-linear optics related to harmonic generation, we report on emerging directions of nonlinear optics, where layered materials can potentially play a significant role.
