Nonlinear optics demands efficacious techniques for nonlinear properties engineering. Metasurfaces, as a flat technology with easy fabrication in various arrangements and without the need for phase-matching conditions, are suitable platforms for nonlinear optics. This study proposes a silicon metasurface with special geometry that provides high conversion efficiency by exploiting Fano resonances and the excitation of magnetic and toroidal dipoles. The results indicate the high efficiencies of third harmonic generation of 5.17×10−3 W−2 and fifth harmonic generation of 7.92×10−9 W−4 under 1 GW/cm2 pump intensity in the near-infrared regime. More specifically, linear and nonlinear optical responses of the structure are completely polarization-independent.
