Enhancement of the second harmonic signal of nonlinear crystals by self-assembled gold nanoparticles

In second harmonic generation (SHG), the energy of two incoming photons, e.g., from a femtosecond laser, can be combined in one outgoing photon of twice the energy, e.g., by means of a nonlinear crystal. The SHG efficiency, however, is limited. In this work, the harvested signal is maximized by comp...

description In second harmonic generation (SHG), the energy of two incoming photons, e.g., from a femtosecond laser, can be combined in one outgoing photon of twice the energy, e.g., by means of a nonlinear crystal. The SHG efficiency, however, is limited. In this work, the harvested signal is maximized by composing a hybrid system consisting of a nonlinear crystal with a dense coverage of plasmonic nanostructures separated by narrow gaps. The method of self-assembled diblock-copolymer-based micellar lithography with subsequent electroless deposition is employed to cover the whole surface of a lithium niobate (LiNbO3) crystal. The interaction of plasmonic nanostructures with light leads to a strong electric near-field in the adjacent crystal. This near-field is harnessed to enhance the near-surface SHG signal from the nonlinear crystal. At the plasmon resonance of the gold nanoparticles, a pronounced enhancement of about 60-fold SHG is observed compared to the bare crystal within the confocal volume of a laser spot.
