摘要
The optical properties of nanoscopic arrays of metal particles are dominated by plasmon resonances and electromagnetic interaction between the particles. We use electron-beam lithography to prepare arrays of noncentrosymmetric gold particles and study their linear and second-order nonlinear optical properties. By varying the orientation of the particles in a fixed lattice, we observe shifts in the polarized linear extinction spectra. The second-harmonic generation efficiencies of the two types of samples differ by up to 60%. The results show that the properties of the samples are sensitive to the smallest details of their structure.
