Abstract

We report the first experimental and theoretical investigation of the coupling of second-harmonic generation of light to surface plasmons in thin silver films. A model of second-harmonic generation due to polarization sources at the silver-air interface correctly predicts the observed harmonic enhancement of one and a half orders of magnitude because of excitation of the surface plasmon.
