Exploring new photonic materials

We have also explored the nonlinear properties of other potentially interesting photonic materials, such as diamond, and silicon carbide (SiC). A particular interesting perspective is that both of them can serve as quantum emitters, and SiC also possesses second order nonlinearity.
