Comparison of second harmonic generation from cross-polarized double-resonant metasurfaces on single crystals of Au

Abstract

Second harmonic generation (SHG) from metasurfaces consisting of square array of split ring, heptagon and triangle cross-polarized double resonant resonators, is investigated both experimentally and numerically. The structures are fabricated on single crystalline Au plates using Focused Ion Beam technique. Array of the triangular structure exhibits most efficient SHG. Experimental observation is explained reasonably well by theoretical evaluation of SHG using the overlapping integral of nonlinear polarization and the microscopic field distribution on the metal surface at the SHG frequency taking phase relation between the two fields into account.
