We introduce a plasmonic-semiconductor hybrid nanosystem, consisting of a ZnO nanowire
coupled to a gold pentamer oligomer by crossing the hot-spot. It is demonstrated that the
hybrid system exhibits a second harmonic (SH) conversion efficiency of∼ 3× 10–5%, which
is among the highest values for a nanoscale object at optical frequencies reported so far.
The SH intensity was found to be∼ 1700 times larger than that from the same nanowire

We introduce a plasmonic-semiconductor hybrid nanosystem, consisting of a ZnO nanowire coupled to a gold pentamer oligomer by crossing the hot-spot. It is demonstrated that the hybrid system exhibits a second harmonic (SH) conversion efficiency of ∼3 × 10–5%, which is among the highest values for a nanoscale object at optical frequencies reported so far. The SH intensity was found to be ∼1700 times larger than that from the same nanowire excited outside the hot-spot. Placing high nonlinear susceptibility materials precisely in plasmonic confined-field regions to enhance SH generation opens new perspectives for highly efficient light frequency up-conversion on the nanoscale.
