“…The nonlinear response of SPPs propagating along different types of plasmonic wave guides has been theoretically investigated by several groups [10][11][12][13]. In most of these studies it is assumed that the nonlinearity results from a Kerr-type nonlinear dielectric bounding the metal, while the metal is taken as a linear medium.…”

Abstract. With the rapid development of optical nonlinearities, the study of nonlinear surface plasmonics becomes more popular. Due to the huge potential application value of surface plasmonics, lots of researches in this field become the hotspot. This paper reviewed the history and basic researches of nonlinear plasmonics and focused on several hot topics attracting global attentions. In addition, we introduced the application status of nonlinear surface plasmonics and draw a conclusion. Meanwhile we outlooked the future developments.

“…The light beam trajectory can be strongly affected by the presence of interfaces, because beams propagating in nonlocal media cause refractive index changes in regions far exceeding the beam width. Under proper conditions, stationary surface waves can propagate along the interface in both local nonlinear media [28][29][30][31] and nonlocal nonlinear media [32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39].…”

We address (2+1)D surface solitons occurring at the interface between a linear medium and a nonlocal nonlinear medium whose nonlinear contribution to the refractive index has a initial value at the interface. We find that there exist stable single and dipole surface solitons which do not exhibit a power threshold. The properties of the surface solitons can be affected by the initial value and the degree of nonlocality. When a laser beam is launched away from the interface, the beam will be periodic oscillations.

“…The optical Kerr effect is a third harmonic generation [11] that corresponds to the effective line refractive index of a material changing with the light intensity it experiences [12]. Nonlinear plasmons can be excited at the metal-dielectric interfaces where the dielectric possesses the Kerr nonlinear response [13][14][15][16]. Only recently have studies of the third-order nonlinearity drawn more attention from researchers.…”

This paper has made a theoretical study of enhanced transmission through a gold grating with arrays of subwavelength slits filled with nonlinear Kerr medium. The results of the research are based on rigorous finite-difference time domain calculations. The resonance transmission peaks in the investigated wavelength range are produced as a result of the surface plasmon resonance collaborated with the localized waveguide resonance. The paper also gives a detailed analysis of the influence exerted by various factors: thickness, third-order susceptibility and line refractive index of the nonlinear medium filled in the gold slits arrays and the incident intensity to the transmission. It is found that the small changes of parameters such as medium thickness, third-order susceptibility and line refractive index of the nonlinear medium filled in the gold slits arrays as well as the incident intensity can bring great changes of lateral shift and magnitude variation of the transmission resonance peaks. The report proposes that these phenomena can be applied to designing precise optical switches. slit array, nonlinear medium, localized waveguide resonance, surface plasmon resonance, Kerr nonlinear effect PACS: 78.66.
