Third Harmonic Mechanism in Complex Plasmonic Fano Structures
نویسندگان
چکیده
We perform third harmonic spectroscopy of dolmen-type nanostructures, which exhibit plasmonic Fano resonances in the near-infrared. Strong third harmonic emission is predominantly radiated close to the low energy peak of the Fano resonance. Furthermore, we find that the third harmonic polarization of the subradiant mode interferes destructively and diminishes the nonlinear signal in the far-field. By comparing the experimental third harmonic spectra with finite element simulations and an anharmonic oscillator model, we find strong indications that the source of the third harmonic is the optical nonlinearity of the bare gold enhanced by the resonant plasmonic polarization.

Augmenting second harmonic generation using Fano resonances in plasmonic systems.
Significant augmentation of second harmonic generation using Fano resonances in plasmonic heptamers made of silver is theoretically and experimentally demonstrated. The geometry is engineered to simultaneously produce a Fano resonance at the fundamental wavelength, resulting in a strong localization of the fundamental field close to the system, and a higher order scattering peak at the second h...

We present orientation dependence and tuning of Fano resonances in plasmonic gold nanorod heptamer nanostructures. The heptamer structures were formed by surrounding a central circular nanoparticle by six satellite nanorods in a hexagonal arrangement and the heptamer structures were then embedded in a thin flexible membrane. The Fano resonance was found to depend on the orientation of the nanor...
متن کاملFano-like resonances sustained by Si doped InAsSb plasmonic resonators integrated in GaSb matrix.
By using metal-free plasmonics, we report on the excitation of Fano-like resonances in the mid-infrared where the Fano asymmetric parameter, q, varies when the dielectric environment of the plasmonic resonator changes. We use silicon doped InAsSb alloy deposited by molecular beam epitaxy on GaSb substrate to realize the plasmonic resonators exclusively based on semiconductors. We first demonstr...
متن کاملCoherent Fano resonances in a plasmonic nanocluster enhance optical four-wave mixing.
Plasmonic nanoclusters, an ordered assembly of coupled metallic nanoparticles, support unique spectral features known as Fano resonances due to the coupling between their subradiant and superradiant plasmon modes. Within the Fano resonance, absorption is significantly enhanced, giving rise to highly localized, intense near fields with the potential to enhance nonlinear optical processes. Here, ...
متن کاملAbsorption Spectroscopy of an Individual Fano Cluster.
Plasmonic clusters can exhibit Fano resonances with unique and tunable asymmetric line shapes, which arise due to the coupling of bright and dark plasmon modes within each multiparticle structure. These structures are capable of generating remarkably large local electromagnetic field enhancements and should give rise to high hot carrier yields relative to other plasmonic nanostructures. While t...
