Bull’s eye (BE) nanoresonators, consisting of a central aperture in an Au film surrounded by a series of concentric circular grooves, are highly interesting structures in the context of manipulating light propagation [1] and also optimizing the coupling to quantum emitters [2]. Using broadband linear spectral interferometry and ultrahigh time resolution spectroscopy, we study the temporal response and the local field enhancement of such BE nanoresonators. We find surprisingly long lifetimes of the extended resonator eigenmodes of more than 35 fs [3]. Furthermore, by replacing the central circular hole with an annular ring void, we obtain 50-times higher second harmonic generation efficiency, illustrating the efficient field enhancement and confinement possible in BE nanoresonators. The combination of spatial light concentration with high quality factors has high potential for sensing and coherent control of light-matter interactions on the nanoscale.
