"Ab-initio real-time spectroscopy : application to non-linear optics"
Abstract
I will present a real-time approach to study non-linear response in Condensed Matter systems that is especially suitable for crystalline solids. I will show how this approach can be used to study non-linear optical properties and in particular second and third harmonic generation in bulk semiconductors. Finally I will present results for the second-harmonic generation spectrum of h-BN or MoS2 monolayers and show how correlation eff-ects double the signal intensity at the excitonic resonances with respect to the contribution from independent electronic transitions.
