Abstract

The field of nonlinear optics (NLO), launched about 60 years ago, has gained considerable momentum over the past two decades, resulting in an enormous growth in NLO publications for a wide range of material categories, including bulk materials, 0D-1D-2D materials, metamaterials, fiber waveguiding materials, on-chip waveguiding materials, and hybrid waveguiding systems. However, a convenient summary of NLO data collected since 2000 for these different material types has been lacking and would be a valuable resource for researchers in the field. Here, we present a new set of data tables showcasing a representative list of NLO properties taken from the literature since 2000 on the above-mentioned material categories. Furthermore, we provide best practices for performing and reporting NLO experiments. These best practices underpin the selection process that we used for including papers in the tables, and also form the foundation for a more adequate comparison, interpretation, and use of the NLO parameters published today and those that will be published in the future.
