Abstract:We study SHG in nonlinear (NL), GaAs gratings. We find large enhancement of conversion efficiency when the pump field excites the guided mode resonances (GMRs) [1] of the grating. Under these circumstances the spectrum near the pump wavelength displays sharp resonances characterized by dramatic enhancements of local fields and favorable conditions for second harmonic generation, even in regimes of strong linear absorption at the SH wavelength thanks to the phase-locked (PL) component of the SH [2). In particul… Show more
