3D-Nanofocusing through the superposition of dipole radiation from second-harmonic emitters — •Philipp Reichenbach, Phillip Olk, and Lukas Eng — Institut für Angewandte Photophysik, Dresden, Germany

Much research has been carried out on the optical second-harmonic (SH) generation from single metallic nanoparticles (MNP). We theoretically investigate how the second-harmonic radiation from multiple MNP emitters can be superposed to form a nanofocus in 3-dimensional space.
At first we considered the possible SH radiation emitted by single spherical and cone-shaped particles, respectively. Especially nanocones seem to be good dipole SH emitters. Secondly, the SH radiation of multiple particles is then superposed. Arranging MNPs on a circle (for instance) results in a nanofocus of ca. λ/3 in diameter, where the focal position can be tuned in space through dictinct phase conditioning, such as tilting of the exciting beam.
