Title: Effects of surface plasmon polariton-mediated interactions on second harmonic generation from assemblies of pyramidal metallic nano-cavities. Author: Kolkowski R, Szeszko J, Dwir B, Kapon E, Zyss J. Journal: Opt Express; 2014 Dec 15; 22(25):30592-606. PubMed ID: 25607007. Abstract: We use polarization-resolved two-photon microscopy to investigate second harmonic generation (SHG) from individual assemblies of site-controlled nano-pyramidal recess templates covered with silver films. We demonstrate the effect of the surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) at fundamental and second-harmonic frequencies on the effective second order susceptibility tensor as a function of pyramid arrangement and inter-pyramid distance. These results open new perspectives for the application of SHG microscopy as a sensitive probe of coherently excited SPPs, as well as for the design of new plasmonic nanostructure assemblies with tailored nonlinear optical properties.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
