Second harmonic generation from a collection of nanoparticles

In this paper we discuss the SH radiation produced by a composite film made up of nanosized spherical centrosymmetric homogeneous particles. Although each individual sphere is unable to radiate in the forward direction when illuminated by a plane wave, our results show that for a thin composite film...

In this paper we discuss the SH radiation produced by a composite film made up of nanosized spherical centrosymmetric homogeneous particles. Although each individual sphere is unable to radiate in the forward direction when illuminated by a plane wave, our results show that for a thin composite film illuminated by a focused gaussian linearly polarized beam the radiation pattern presents two narrow lobes displaced along the polarization direction by a small angle of the order of the diffraction-induced angular divergence of the linear far field. The SH radiation produced by a non-homogeneous film, on the other hand presents non-trivial patterns which depend on the fundamental frequency, the waist of the illuminating beam, the sharpness of the edge, the density profile and both the incoming and outgoing polarizations.
