Large enhancement of second-harmonic generation in subwavelength metal-dielectric-metal plasmonic waveguides
Plasmonic waveguides have shown the potential to guide subwavelength optical modes, the so called surface plasmon polaritons, at metal-dielectric interfaces. In particular, a metal-dielectric-metal (MDM) structure supports a subwavelength propagating mode at a wavelength range extending from DC to visible. Thus, such a waveguide could be important in providing an interface between conventional ...
متن کاملPlasmonic enhancement of second harmonic generation on metal coated nanoparticles.
Second Harmonic Generation (SHG) is a widely used tool to study surfaces. Here we investigate SHG from spherical nanoparticles consisting of a dielectric core (radius 100 nm) and a metallic shell of variable thickness. Plasmonic resonances occur that depend on the thickness of the nanoshells and boost the intensity of the Second Harmonic (SH) signal. The origin of the resonances is studied for ...
متن کاملGain-induced switching in metal-dielectric-metal plasmonic waveguides
The authors show that the incorporation of gain media in only a selected device area can annul the effect of material loss, and enhance the performance of loss-limited plasmonic devices. In addition, they demonstrate that optical gain provides a mechanism for on/off switching in metal-dielectric-metal (MDM) plasmonic waveguides. The proposed gain-assisted plasmonic switch consists of a subwavel...
متن کاملSecond-harmonic generation in graded metal–dielectric films of anisotropic particles
We investigate theoretically the effective second-harmonic generation (SHG) susceptibility in graded films of metal–dielectric random composites with anisotropically shaped particles by invoking the local field effects. Using numerical examples, we demonstrate that in the presence of gradation profiles and/or shape effects, graded metal–dielectric films could be used as novel optical materials ...
متن کاملCompact slit-based couplers for metal-dielectric-metal plasmonic waveguides.
We introduce compact wavelength-scale slit-based structures for coupling free space light into metal-dielectric-metal (MDM) subwave-length plasmonic waveguides. We first show that for a single slit structure the coupling efficiency is limited by a trade-off between the light power coupled into the slit, and the transmission of the slit-MDM waveguide junction. We next consider a two-section slit...
