Figures & Tables
Fig. 1. (a) Extinction efficiency of the isolated cylinder versus the radius of its section: the continuous (dashed) line refers to modeling (experimental data); (b) extinction efficiency decomposed in electric dipole p , magnetic dipole m , toroidal dipole t , electric quadrupole Q e , and magnetic quadrupole Q m contributions. (c) Electric field enhancement for a nanocylinder with radius 320 nm. The white arrows indicate the electric field vector (in-plane components). (d) Magnitude of the volume integral of the normalized nonlinear current density ρ SHG inside the cylinder as a function of the radius.
Fig. 2. AlGaAs-on-AlOx nanodimers. (a) SEM image of a part of the array. The principal axis of the dimer is oriented parallel to the [100] direction of the AlGaAs crystal. (b) Pictorial view of the proposed structure. Calculated Cartesian decomposition of the dimer photonic modes in the case of light linearly polarized either along (c) the x axis or (d) the y axis for different dimer radii at λ = 1550 nm . (e) Phase difference between p and t multipoles in the case of incident light polarized along the x (blue curve) or the y axis (red curve). A black dashed line corresponding to − π is plotted as a reference.
Fig. 3. (a) Electric–magnetic field distribution in the x – y plane at the fundamental wavelength in the dimer structure for the two incident (inc) polarizations, as indicated by the white arrows: for a dimer with (a), (d) a radius of 335 nm and (b), (e) with a radius of 320 nm; in (a) and (b) the height is 200 nm; in (d) and (e) it is 300 nm. (c) Schematic description of the coupling mechanism in the dimer for the two orthogonal incident polarizations: p indicates the electric dipole, t is the toroidal dipole, and M is the magnetic field loop. (f) Electric and magnetic field enhancement as a function of the dimer radius for the x (blue curve) and y (orange curve) incident polarizations.
Fig. 4. (a) Numerical calculations of the SH efficiency for x -polarized pump beam (blue line) and y -polarized pump beam (red line) as a function of cylinder radius with respect to the SHG of the single cylinder (black line). (b) Measured SHG for the dimer structure as a function of radius for two pump polarizations: along the x axis (blue curve) and along the y axis (red curve). The black line represents the measured SHG for the single cylinder structure. (c) Calculated volume integral of the nonlinear polarization in the isolated cylinder (black line) and in the dimer for x - (blue line) and y - (red line) polarized pump beams.
