Abstract

Optical metasurfaces, artificial planar nanostructures composed of subwavelength meta-atoms, have attracted significant attention due to their ability to tailor optical nanoscale properties, making them a versatile platform for shaping light in both linear and nonlinear regimes. This paper reports on the realization of second harmonic generation (SHG) enhancement based on a dolmen-type gold metasurface containing two resonances. Nonlinear scattering theory is employed to numerically investigate the SHG enhancement phenomenon in the resonant metasurface. The periodic dolmen-type gold metasurface introduces a diffraction coupling effect between Fano resonance and surface lattice resonance (SLR), providing strong local-field enhancement and significantly enhancing the nonlinear effect. We analyze the influence of the coupling between Fano resonance and SLR on the SHG intensity and achieve a 230-fold enhancement in SHG intensity compared to the single resonance case by adjusting the periodicity of the metasurface. The SHG-enhanced gold metasurface may find applications in sensing, imaging, optical computing, and integrated nonlinear optics.
