Eigenmode Analysis in Plasmonics: Application to Second Harmonic Generation and Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy

Gabriel David Bernasconi

Eigenmodes are central to the study of resonant phenomena in all areas of physics. However, their use in nano-optics seems to have been hindered and delayed for various reasons. First, due to their small size, the response of nanostructures to a far-field ...

Silencing the second harmonic generation from plasmonic nanodimers: A comprehensive discussion

Olivier Martin, Jérémy Butet, Gabriel David Bernasconi

The silencing of the second harmonic generation process from plasmonic nanostructures corresponds to the limited far-field second harmonic radiation despite the huge fundamental electric field enhancement in the interstice between two plasmonic nanoparticl ...

Where Does Energy Go in Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy of Nanostructures?

Jürgen Brugger, Olivier Martin, Duncan Thomas Lindsay Alexander, Jérémy Butet, Valentin Flauraud, Gabriel David Bernasconi

Electron energy loss spectroscopy is a method of choice for the characterization of both the spatial and spectral properties of localized surface plasmon resonances. The energy lost by the impinging electrons is commonly explained by the Lorentz force acti ...

Controlling the nonlinear optical properties of plasmonic nanoparticles with the phase of their linear response

Olivier Martin, Jérémy Butet, Gabriel David Bernasconi, Kuang-Yu Yang

We numerically investigate the second harmonic generation from different plasmonic systems and evidence the key role played in their nonlinear response by the phase at the fundamental wavelength. In the case of a single plasmonic nanorod, the interference ...

Second Harmonic Generation Dynamics in Plasmonic Nanoparticles

Olivier Martin, Jérémy Butet, Gabriel David Bernasconi

Due to its symmetry properties, second-harmonic generation in plasmonic nanostructures enables the observation of even-parity modes that couple weakly to the far field. Consequentially, those modes radiate less and thus have a longer lifetime. Using a full ...
