PySHS

PySHS simulates Second Harmonic Scattering (SHS) from colloidal nano-objects to model nonlinear optical responses under diverse experimental configurations.

Key Features:

• SHS simulation: Provides detailed simulations of Second Harmonic Scattering to compute nonlinear optical responses of colloidal nano-objects.
• Polarization-resolved analysis: Computes polarization-resolved SHS at fixed scattered angles and produces angular distributions across different polarization configurations.
• Experimental parameterization: Accepts user-specified experimental parameters and configurations to simulate real-world measurement scenarios.
• Model validation and experimental design support: Enables validation of theoretical models and guidance for experimental design through simulation outputs.

Scientific Applications:

• Nanophotonics: Investigates nonlinear light–matter interactions and aids design of nanophotonic structures via SHS simulations.
• Materials Science: Predicts how particle size, shape, or arrangement influence nonlinear optical responses in nanostructured materials.
• Colloidal Chemistry: Analyzes SHS signatures from colloidal assemblies to study self-assembly and interparticle interactions.

Methodology:

Computational modeling of the nonlinear optical processes involved in SHS and numerical simulation of polarization-resolved and angular scattering for specified experimental parameters and configurations.
