Abstract
As KLTN undergoes its room-temperature transition from a cubic to a tetragonal phase, the emerging ferroelectric domains spontaneously lock into a three-dimensional highly organized lattice formed by 3D vortex-like structures. The result is a material, a ferroelectric supercrystal, with unexpected broadband optical properties, such as giant refraction. I will describe our explorations of enhanced nonlinear optical properties of the supercrystal, with emphasis on second-harmonic generation. Experiments indicate the emergence of a constraint-free wavelength conversion in the form of non-linear Cherenkov emission characterized by a broad angular and spectral acceptance, absence of chromatic walk-off, and negligible diffraction.
