The injected pump field-generates third-harmonic radiation within the visible (close to 500 nm) inside the silicon, which inherits the pump’s phase gradient. This gives rise to nonlinear polarization currents that scatter the third harmonic to the far field in a direction dictated by the engineered phase gradient. Because the phase gradient of the third-harmonic field
