Abstract :
Metamaterials consisting of metal nanoparticles offer the possibility to engineer the nonlinear optical properties by varying their plasmonic resonances. The resonances depend on the size, shape, and dielectric environment of the particles as well as their mutual ordering. We show several ways of controlling and optimizing the second-harmonic response of plasmonic metamaterials.
