Non-linear optics with Yambo

Dear Developers

I saw these two papers just published with Yambo:

Nonlinear optics from an ab initio approach by means of the dynamical Berry phase: Application to second-and third-harmonic generation in semiconductors
C Attaccalite, M GrĂ¼ning
Physical Review B 88 (23), 235113

and

Second Harmonic Generation in h-BN and MoS $ _2 $ monolayers: the role of electron-hole interaction
M GrĂ¼ning, C Attaccalite
Phys. Rev. B 89, 081102(R)

is it possible to calculate the non-linear response with Yambo? I mean SHG and THG?
how? and at which level of approximation?

best regards
Javad

Dear javad.
These are new features of the code and are not yet in the gpl release. Hopefully they will be released soon.
Best,
Daniele
