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...
