This paper presents a novel method for solving partial differential equations on three-dimensional CAD geometries by means of immersed isogeometric discretizations that do not require quadrature schemes. It relies on a newly developed technique for the eva ...

In this paper, we aim at unveiling the underlying physical mechanism for transversal optical forces, appearing due to the simultaneous illumination of a spherical object with two plane waves possessing different polarizations. The appearance of such a tran ...

Dynamics of optical forces and torques in plasmonic systems: a surface integral equation

Olivier Martin, Karim Achouri, Andrei Kiselev

A novel approach is introduced to determine the time evolution of optical forces and torques on arbitrary shape nanostructures by combining Maxwell's stress tensor with the surface integral equation method (SIE). Conventional time averaging of Maxwell’s st ...

Eigenmodes are central to the study of resonant phenomena in all areas of physics. However, their use in nano-optics seems to have been hindered and delayed for various reasons. First, due to their small size, the response of nanostructures to a far-field ...

Strong second-harmonic generation from Au-Al heterodimers

Olivier Martin, Jérémy Butet, Gabriel David Bernasconi

Second-harmonic generation (SHG) is investigated from three kinds of lithographically fabricated plasmonic systems: Al monomers, Au monomers and Au-Al heterodimers with nanogaps of 20 nm. Spectrally integrated SHG intensities and the linear optical respons ...

Silencing the second harmonic generation from plasmonic nanodimers: A comprehensive discussion

Olivier Martin, Jérémy Butet, Gabriel David Bernasconi

The silencing of the second harmonic generation process from plasmonic nanostructures corresponds to the limited far-field second harmonic radiation despite the huge fundamental electric field enhancement in the interstice between two plasmonic nanoparticl ...

On flexible Green function methods for atomistic/continuum coupling

Max Ludwig Hodapp

Atomistic/continuum (A/C) coupling schemes have been developed during the past twenty years to overcome the vast computational cost of fully atomistic models, but have not yet reached full maturity to address many problems of practical interest. This work ...

Optical second harmonic generation from nanostructured graphene: a full wave approach

Olivier Martin, Jérémy Butet, Gabriel David Bernasconi, Raziman Thottungal Valapu, Bruno Majérus

Optical second harmonic generation (SHG) from nanostructured graphene has been studied in the framework of classical electromagnetism using a surface integral equation method. Single disks and dimers are considered, demonstrating that the nonlinear convers ...

Revealing a Mode Interplay That Controls Second-Harmonic Radiation in Gold Nanoantennas

Olivier Martin, Jérémy Butet, Gabriel David Bernasconi, Chen Yan

In this work, we investigate the generation of second- harmonic light by gold nanorods and demonstrate that the collected nonlinear intensity depends upon a phase interplay between di ff erent modes available in the nanostructure. By recording the backward ...
