    Area of Science:

    • Nanophotonics and Plasmonics
    • Nonlinear Optics
    • Materials Science

    Background:

    • Plasmonic nanocavities are crucial for amplifying weak nonlinear optical responses at subwavelength scales.
    • Challenges exist in creating nanocavities with tunable modal volumes and minimal optical losses for nonlinear nanophotonics.
    • Existing dielectric-metal counterparts show limitations in second-harmonic light amplification.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To design and fabricate novel three-dimensional (3D) metal-dielectric-metal (MDM) plasmonic nanocavities.
    • To achieve significant amplification of second-harmonic light.
    • To elucidate the underlying mechanism responsible for the observed signal amplification.

    Main Methods:

    • Design and fabrication of 3D MDM plasmonic nanocavities.
    • Experimental estimation of contributions from constituent parts in the 3D MDM designs.
    • Theoretical analysis to disclose the signal amplification mechanism.

    Main Results:

    • The fabricated 3D MDM plasmonic nanocavities amplify second-harmonic light by up to three orders of magnitude compared to dielectric-metal structures.
    • The amplification mechanism is attributed to the plasmon hybridization of dipolar plasmon resonances and gap cavity resonances.
    • This hybridization creates an energy exchange channel that expands modal volumes while maintaining strong field localizations.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed 3D MDM plasmonic nanocavities offer a powerful platform for efficient nonlinear harmonic generation.
    • The findings advance the understanding of nonlinear phenomena in 3D plasmonic nanostructures.
    • This work paves the way for improved nonlinear nanophotonic devices.
