Periodic Motion of Sedimenting Flexible Knots

Giovanni Dietler, Andrzej Stasiak, Krishnan Thyagarajan

We study the dynamics of knotted deformable closed chains sedimenting in a viscous fluid. We show experimentally that trefoil and other torus knots often attain a remarkably regular horizontal toroidal structure while sedimenting, with a number of intertwi ...

Augmenting Second Harmonic Generation Using Fano Resonances in Plasmonic Systems

Olivier Martin, Krishnan Thyagarajan, Jérémy Butet

Significant augmentation of second harmonic generation using Fano resonances in plasmonic heptamers made of silver is theoretically and experimentally demonstrated. The geometry is engineered to simultaneously produce a Fano resonance at the fundamental wa ...

Second-harmonic generation from periodic arrays of arbitrary shape plasmonic nanostructures: a surface integral approach

Olivier Martin, Benjamin Gallinet, Krishnan Thyagarajan, Jérémy Butet

A surface integral formulation for the second-harmonic generation (SHG) from periodic metallic-dielectric nano-structures is described. This method requires the discretization of the scatterers' surface in the unit cell only. All the physical quantities in ...

Ultrasensitive Optical Shape Characterization of Gold Nanoantennas Using Second Harmonic Generation

Olivier Martin, Krishnan Thyagarajan, Jérémy Butet

Second harmonic generation from plasmonic nanoantennas is investigated numerically using a surface integral formulation for the calculation of both the fundamental and the second harmonic electric field. The comparison between a realistic and an idealized ...

Influencing the ultrafast plasmon damping time using Fano resonances for nonlinear plasmonics

Olivier Martin, Krishnan Thyagarajan

We explore the possibility of strongly influencing the plasmon damping time in nanostructures for efficient second harmonic generation, by taking advantage of the tunability of the narrow linewidth feature in the extinction cross-section exhibited by plasm ...

Enhanced second-harmonic generation from double resonant plasmonic antennae

Simon Rivier, Olivier Martin, Krishnan Thyagarajan, Andrea Lovera

We present a novel plasmonic antenna geometry - the double resonant antenna (DRA) - that is optimized for second-harmonic generation (SHG). This antenna is based on two gaps coupled to each other so that a resonance at the fundamental and at the doubled fr ...

Nonlinear plasmonics of metallic heptamers

Simon Rivier, Olivier Martin, Krishnan Thyagarajan

Second-harmonic generation (SHG) from centrosymmetric nanostructures originating from the breaking of inversion symmetry at their surfaces is a well-known phenomenon and is extensively used as a surface probe in nonlinear optical microscopy. In recent year ...
