Metallic nanostructures exhibit fascinating linear and nonlinear optical properties when they are excited by incident light. Localized surface plasmons (LSPs) generated by a collective oscillation of electrons in conduction band offer the possibility of enhancing and concentrating electrical field in a subwavelength volume, which enable the nanostructures to act similar to antennas in the microwave or radiowave regime.
In order to explore the dependence of nonlinear optical properties on the LSPs for nanoantennas and their potential applications in the field of enhanced spectroscopy, we fabricated nanoantennas with different geometrical parameters (shape, dimension and gap) and materials by electron beam lithography. These nanoantennas were firstly characterized by far field extinction spectroscopy, which reflects footprints of their LSPs resonances. The nonlinear optical signals including second harmonic generation and two photon photoluminescence were investigated using far-field confocal optical microscopy and scanning near-field optical microscopy. . Gap-, material-, and position-dependent nonlinear optical properties of these nanoantennas will be systematically compared.
