研究目的
Investigating the enhancement and control of multiple, simultaneous nonlinear optical processes in plasmonic nanogap cavities.
研究成果
The study successfully demonstrated the enhancement and control of multiple, simultaneous nonlinear optical processes in plasmonic nanogap cavities, with enhancements up to 106-fold for THG and FWM and 104-fold for SFG. The ability to control these processes opens new avenues for on-chip nonlinear devices and deep nanoscale optical signal processing.
研究不足
The study is limited by the technical constraints of fabricating ultrathin Al2O3 layers and the potential for nonlocal optical responses not accounted for in simulations. Additionally, the nonlinear coefficient of Al2O3 is small compared to other materials, which may limit the efficiency of nonlinear processes.
