Main Results:

  • Plasmonic particle chains can be engineered to support phase-matched modes.
  • The magnetic-field dependence of susceptibility provides the necessary nonlinearity.
  • Parametric processes, sum frequency, and second harmonic generation are achieved.
  • Second harmonic generation is supported even by centrosymmetric particle chains due to the involvement of both electric and magnetic fields.

Conclusions:

  • Plasmonic particle chains are viable platforms for parametric optics and higher harmonic generation.
  • These effects can be achieved solely through the chain's own modes.
  • The findings open possibilities for novel nonlinear photonic devices based on plasmonics.
