Abstract
Significant effort has been expended in the search for materials with
ultrafast nonlinear optical susceptibilities, but most fall far below
the fundamental limits. This work applies a theoretical materials
development program that has identified a promising new hybrid made of
a nanorod and a molecule. This system uses the electrostatic dipole
moment of the molecule to break the symmetry of the metallic
nanostructure that shifts the energy spectrum to make it optimal for a
nonlinear optical response near the fundamental limit. The structural
parameters are varied to determine the ideal configuration, providing
guidelines for making the best structures.
