Strong modulation of second-harmonic generation with very large contrast in semiconducting CdS via high-field domain

Dynamically controlling nonlinear signals with large modulation amplitudes is a challenging task. Here, Ren et al. demonstrate high-contrast electric switching of the second-order nonlinear coefficient in CdS nanobelts and explain the observed transistor-like behavior based on high-field domains.
