Abstract

The vertically and horizontally polarized second harmonic responses from arrays of gold metallic nanocylinders with different two-dimensional spatial organization, namely square, hexagonal and random arrangements, have been determined in transmission as a function of the input fundamental polarization angle. The results demonstrate that the second harmonic response is incoherent, resulting from the breaking of the centrosymmetry of the shape of the nanocylinders by surface defects. As a result, no effect from the geometrical arrangement of the nanocylinders on the substrate is observed.
