Realization of large and highly tunable second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) responses, e.g., second-harmonic generation (SHG) and bulk photovoltaic effect (BPVE), is critical for developing modern optical and optoelectronic devices. Very recently, the two-dimensional van der Waals ferroelectric NbOX2 (X = Cl, Br or I) are discovered to exhibit unusually large and anisotropic SHG. However, the physical origin and possible tunability of NLO responses in NbOX2 remain to be unclear. In this article, we reveal that the large SHG in NbOCl2 is dominated by the synergy between large transition dipole moment and band-nesting-induced large intensity of electron-hole pairs. Remarkably, the NbOCl2 can exhibit dramatically different strain-dependent BPVE under different polarized light, originating from the interesting light-polarization-dependent orbital transition. Importantly, we successfully achieve a reversible ferroelectric-to-antiferroelectric phase transition via controlling ambient temperature or external pressure, accompanied by the greatly tunable NLO responses. Furthermore, we discover that the evolutions of SHG and BPVE in NbOX2 with variable X obey different rules. Our study provides a deep understanding on the novel NLO physics in NbOX2 and establishes great external-field tunability for device applications. |
