    Area of Science:

    • Photonics and Nanotechnology
    • Nonlinear Optics

    Background:

    • Metasurfaces offer unique optical properties due to their subwavelength nanostructures.
    • Silicon is a promising material for dielectric metasurfaces due to its low loss and high refractive index.

    Purpose of the Study:

    Main Methods:

    • Fabrication of a silicon metasurface composed of symmetric spindle-shape nanoparticles.
    • Experimental measurement of THG conversion efficiency.
    • Polarization-dependent measurements to optimize THG intensity.
    • Numerical simulations to validate experimental results.

    Main Results:

    • Achieved a 300-fold increase in THG conversion efficiency compared to bulk silicon.
    • Observed a maximum extinction ratio of 25 dB for THG intensity by tuning incident light polarization.
    • Demonstrated strong agreement between experimental data and simulation results.

    Conclusions:

    • Silicon metasurfaces supporting trapped modes are highly effective for enhancing THG.
    • The demonstrated enhancement offers a pathway for efficient nonlinear frequency conversion.
    • The polarization control provides a method for optimizing THG output.
