A surface plasmon polariton (SPP) is an electromagnetic excitation existing on the surface of
a good metal. It is an intrinsically two-dimensional excitation whose electromagnetic field …

Requirements of integrated photonics and miniaturisation of optical devices demand
efficient nonlinear components not constrained by conventional macroscopic nonlinear …

The historical development of multiphoton microscopy is described, starting with a review of
two-photon absorption, and including two-and three-photon fluorescence microscopies, and …

Nonlinear optics, when combined with microscopy, is known to provide advantages
including novel contrast, deep tissue observation, and minimal invasiveness. In addition …

Second-harmonic generation of uniformly oriented, ellipsoidal silver nanoparticles in a glass
matrix was observed and investigated as a function of incidence angle, light polarization …

A numerical technique for studying the generation of second-harmonic radiation in the
interaction of light with two-dimensional particles of arbitrary shape is described. The …

We study the generation of second-harmonic radiation in the interaction of light with an
infinite cylinder illuminated perpendicular to its axis by an s-or p-polarized monochromatic …

A survey is given of a variety of effects that can arise in the scattering of electromagnetic
waves from one-and two-dimensional randomly rough surfaces. The focus is primarily on …

This monograph is a detailed introduction to the nascent and ever-evolving fields of
metamaterials and nanophotonics, with key techniques and applications needed for a …

Plasmonic metamaterials and metasurfaces are important for many linear and nonlinear
photonic applications. Here, the possibility to control a nanostructured layer spontaneously …
