This study investigates the nonlinear optical properties of a WS2 monolayer at room temperature, demonstrating a correlation between nonlinear photoluminescence and several nonlinear optical processes. The results contribute to a better understanding of the optical mechanisms in transition-metal dichalcogenides and have the potential to expand the applications of nonlinear processes of 2D materials in various fields.
Currently, the nonlinear optical properties of 2D materials are attracting the attention of an ever-increasing number of research groups due to their large potential for applications in a broad range of scientific disciplines. Here, we investigate the interplay between nonlinear photoluminescence (PL) and several degenerate and nondegenerate nonlinear optical processes of a WS2 monolayer at room temperature. We illuminate the sample using two femtosecond laser pulses at frequencies omega(1) and omega(2) with photon energies below the optical bandgap. As a result, the sample emits light that shows characteristic spectral peaks of the second-harmonic generation, sum-frequency generation, and four-wave mixing. In addition, we find that both resonant and off-resonant nonlinear excitation via frequency mixing contributes to the (nonlinear) PL emission at the A-exciton frequency. The PL exhibits a clear correlation with the observed nonlinear effects, which we attribute to the generation of excitons via degenerate and nondegenerate multiphoton absorption. Our work illustrates a further step toward understanding the fundamental relation between parametric and nonparametric nondegenerate optical mechanisms in transition-metal dichalcogenides. In turn, such understanding has great potential to expand the range of applicability of nonlinear optical processes of 2D materials in different fields of science and technology, where nonlinear mechanisms are typically limited to degenerate processes.
