Background-Free Third Harmonic Imaging of Gold Nanorods

Abstract: Surface plasmon resonance exhibited by noble metal nanoparticles makes them attractive agents for advanced microscopic imaging applications. In this work we study third harmonic generation in gold nanorods under conditions of resonance of the laser frequency with the longitudinal plasmon mode. Large resonant enhancement and the symmetry properties of third harmonic generation allow for background-free, orientation sensitive optical imaging of individual nanoparticles.

“…There are only few experimental studies in this field [39 - 41], where third harmonic generation in nanostructures excited by a Ti : sapphire laser was reported. In particular, a UV photon flux of 10 4 photons s -1 from a single gold nanostructure was obtained in [41].…”
