Boosting Second Harmonic Radiation from AlGaAs Nanoantennas with Epsilon-Near-Zero Materials

Enhancing the second harmonic conversion efficiency at the nanoscale is a critical challenge in nonlinear optics. Here we propose the use of epsilon-near-zero materials to boost the nonlinear radiation in the far field. Here, a comparison of the second harmonic behavior of a cylindrical AlGaAs nanoa...
