Plasmonics has emerged as an important research field in nanoscience and
nanotechnology. Recently, significant attention has been devoted to the observation and the …

We review the interaction of laser light with a single plasmonic nanostructure. Until recently,
the extremely weak optical response of a single nanostructure had only allowed …

We show enhanced second-harmonic generation (SHG) from a hybrid metal–dielectric
nanodimer consisting of an inorganic perovskite nanoparticle of barium titanate (BaTiO3) …

Nanophotonics research has focused recently on the ability of nonlinear optical processes to
mediate and transform optical signals in a myriad of novel devices, including optical …

Second-harmonic generation (SHG) from nanoparticles made of centrosymmetric materials
provides an effective tool to characterize many important properties of photonic structures at …

Abstract Colloidal Au-core/Ag-shell nanorods with an asymmetric transverse cross-section
and a strong octupolar plasmon resonance are synthesized by the controlled growth of Ag …

Optical activation of neurons requires genetic manipulation or the use of chemical
photoactivators with undesirable side effects. As a solution to these disadvantages, here, we …

We investigate second harmonic generation (SHG) response of mesoscale silver (Ag)
particles. The flower-like Ag mesoparticles and Ag micro-hemispheres on an indium tin …

Because of strong light absorption by metals, it is believed that plasmonic nanostructures
cannot be used for generating intensive radiation harmonics in the ultraviolet (UV) spectral …

Second harmonic generation (SHG) is useful for studying the properties of interfaces,
including the surfaces of nanoparticles and the interaction of nanoparticles with biologically …
