Abstract :
We study two major nonlinear effects in plasmonic structures: second-harmonic generation in metal-insulator-metal waveguides and self-focusing of plasmons propagating along an interface between metal and Kerr-type nonlinear dielectric with the formation of spatial plasmon-polariton solitons.
