Surface-plasmon-enhanced third-harmonic generation in thin silver films

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Optical third-harmonic generation (THG) is dipole allowed. I report a 103 signal enhancement of THG that is due to the excitation of a surface plasmon in thin silver films by an attenuated-total-internal-reflection geometry. Because the THG signal depends on the cube of the incident intensity and the second-harmonic generation depends on the square of the intensity, the THG overtakes the second-harmonic generation at laser intensities beyond 6 × 1011 W/cm2.
