To date, they are mainly realized using small-gap semiconductors, which hampers applications in the visible (VIS) range. High refractive-index transparent materials, such as lithium niobate (LiNbO 3 ), could be used to circumvent this limitation [1] , [2] , [3] , but efficient operation in this strategic spectral window is hindered by nanofabrication challenges. Here we show the first monolithic nonlinear metasurface based on LiNbO 3 for second-harmonic generation (SHG) in the VIS range with efficiency comparable to recent work in the near-infrared [3] . By tuning the pump polarization, we demonstrate efficient steering and polarization encoding of SHG, opening novel opportunities for nonlinear meta-optics.application/pdfen-AU© 2021 IEEEMonolithic LiNbO3 Metasurface for Steering and Polarization-Encoding of Second-Harmonic Generation in the Visible202110.1109/CLEO/Europe-EQEC52157.2021.95419702022-08-07
