Highly Efficient Phase-Matched Third Harmonic Generation From Mid-IR to Near-IR Regions Using an Asymmetric Plasmonic Slot Waveguide

We theoretically propose an asymmetric plasmonic slot waveguide (APSW) with a thin silicon nanocrystal (Si-nc) layer and a thinner silicon layer that fills the bottom and the top of the metallic slot region to increase third-harmonic generation (THG) efficiency. The needed modal phase-matching condi...
