Summary

We explored efficient third-harmonic generation (THG) using photonic crystals and metal films. A double-resonance condition significantly boosts THG, enhancing it by orders of magnitude compared to single metal films.

Fulfillment of double-resonance conditions using a binary PC.

Main Results:

THG in the single-resonance heterostructure is enhanced over 3 orders of magnitude compared to a single metal film.
THG in the double-resonance heterostructure is further enhanced by nearly 2 orders of magnitude.
The tunneling effect of Tamm plasmon modes is crucial for THG enhancement.

Conclusions:

Efficient THG can be achieved in PC-metal heterostructures.
Double-resonance conditions significantly boost THG efficiency.
This approach offers a promising route for advanced nonlinear optical devices.
