Abstract
Due to the various applications of second-harmonic generation (SHG), achieving high SHG conversion efficiency is highly appreciated. In this paper, we achieve high SHG conversion efficiency from graphene-wrapped radial anisotropic nanoparticles by combining the strong second-order nonlinear effects of graphene and the field-enhancing effects of anisotropic materials. We find that the nonlinear conversion efficiency of radial anisotropic nanoparticles can be several orders of magnitude higher than that of isotropic counterpart. This is because the radial anisotropic provides the additional enhancement of field intensity near the boundary, and the graphene that provides SHG nonlinear effect is located at the particle boundary where the fundamental frequency field is significantly enhanced. Meanwhile, the highly tunable characteristic of graphene offers additional flexibility for manipulating the SHG spectrum in actual applications. Our results provide a promising method for improving the nonlinear conversion efficiency of photonic devices and the sensitivity of the nonlinear sensor.
