It is well known that Si nanograss or black Si greatly enhances light absorption in a broad spectral range and thus is of relevance for solar cell application. Very little is known about their nonlinear optical properties. For that, we have utilized a broadband and few-cycle ultrafast laser to generate coherent third harmonic (TH) emission from randomly disordered Si nanograss. The TH signal is two-order-of-magnitude stronger than that from bulk Si surfaces. For individual hot spots, the TH enhancement even reaches a factor of the order of 1000. A statistical analysis of the TH intensity fluctuations demonstrates that multiple light scattering within the randomly disorder medium is the cause of those fluctuations. A phase-locked and collinear pulse pair excitation proves the coherent nature of the deep ultraviolet emission. The interferometric frequency-resolved autocorrelation (IFRAC) microscopy shows that the deep ultraviolet pulse is around 10fs. Our findings identify random Si nanograss as the most promising candidates for generating ultrashort deep ultraviolet pulses.
