Twist-PM for efficient SHG in the twisted rBN films with random thicknesses. (a) Schematics of a nonlinear optical crystal assembled by four pieces of the rBN films with different thicknesses of t1, t2, t3, t4, and a sequence of twist angles. (b) Twist-PM for efficient SHG. For the four rBN films with different thicknesses (800, 600, 400, and 300 nm), the twist-PM can still be fulfilled under twist angles of (0°, 25°, 42°, 55°), as demonstrated theoretically (solid line) and experimentally (hollow circles).
