摘要

Abstract

Plasmonic nanoantennas provide unprecedented opportunities to concentrate light fields in subwavelength-sized volumes. By placing a nonlinear dielectric nanoparticle in such a hot spot

one can hope to take advantage of both the field enhancement provided by nanoantennas and the large

nonlinear optical susceptibility of dielectric nanoparticles. To test this concept

we combine gold gap nanoantennas with second-order

nonlinear zinc sulfide nanoparticles

and perform second harmonic generation (SHG) spectroscopy on the combined hybrid dielectric/plasmonic nanoantennas as well as on the individual constituents. We find that SHG from the bare gold nanoantennas

even though it should be forbidden due to symmetry reasons

is several orders of magnitude larger than that of the bare zinc sulfide nanoparticles. Even stronger second harmonic signals are generated by the hybrid dielectric/plasmonic nanoantennas. Control experiments with nanoantennas containing linear lanthanum fluoride nanoparticles reveal; however

that the increased SHG efficiency of the hybrid dielectric/plasmonic nanoantennas does not depend on the nonlinear optical susceptibility of the dielectric nanoparticles but is an effect of the modification of the dielectric environment. The combination of a hybrid dielectric/plasmonic nanoantenna

which is only resonant for the incoming pump light field

with a second nanoantenna

which is resonant for the generated second harmonic light

allows for a further increase in the efficiency of SHG. As the second nanoantenna mediates the coupling of the second harmonic light to the far field

this double-resonant approach also provides us with control over the polarization of the generated light.
