High-permittivity semiconductor resonators are emerging as potential platforms for nonlinear nanophotonics due to a rich variety of resonances, lossless operation, and strong volume nonlinearity. Harnessing these aspects can lead to efficient and controlled nonlinear light generation in nanoscale devices. In this work, we review recent advances for efficient frequency conversion and tunable control of the spatial and polarization properties of the emitted photons exploiting second order nonlinear processes in AlGaAs nanoantennas. By means of both numerical and experimental approaches, we demonstrate dynamic control over the directionality of the second harmonic radiation pattern generated in nanodisks by varying the angle of incidence of the pump beam and the shape of nanoresonator.
