Plasmonic nanostructures that support surface plasmon (SP) resonance potentially provide a route for the development of nanoengineered nonlinear optical devices. In this work, second-order nonlinear light scatteringspecifi cally, sum-frequency generation (SFG) and secondharmonic generation (SHG) -from plasmonic nanoantennas is modeled by the Boundary-Element Method (BEM). Far-fi eld scattering patterns are compared with the results calculated by the Mie theory to validate the accuracy of the developed nonlinear solver. The sum-frequency generation from a multi-resonant nanoantenna (MR-NA) and the second-harmonic generation from a particle-in-cavity nanoantenna (PIC-NA) are analyzed by using the developed method. Enhancements of the scattering signals due to double-resonance of the multi-resonant nanoantenna and gap plasmonic mode of the particle-in-cavity nanoantenna are observed. Unidirectional nonlinear radiation for the particle-in-cavity nanoantenna is realized. Moreover, the emission direction of this radiation can be controlled by the location of the nanosphere. This work provides new theoretical tools and design guidelines for plasmonic nonlinear nanoantennas.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
