Using classical electrodynamics we determine the angular dependence of the light intensities radiated in second and third harmonic generation by spherical metal clusters. Forward and backward scattering is analyzed in detail. Also resonance effects in the integrated intensities are studied. By treating intermediate cluster sizes, we complete the scattering theory for spherical clusters between Rayleigh-type analysis for small spheres and geometrical optics for spheres much larger than the wavelength for nonlinear optics. The particle size sensitivity of Mie-scattering is increased by nonlinearity. The results suggest that small particle sizes can be extracted more easily from nonlinear optics.read more

Multipolar nonlinear nanophotonics
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the advances in the recently emerged field of multipolar nonlinear nanophotonics, starting from earlier relevant studies of metallic and metal-dielectric structures supporting localized plasmonic resonances, and then discussing the latest results for all- dielectric nanostructures driven by Mie-type multipolar resonances and optically induced magnetic response.

Boundary element method for surface nonlinear optics of nanoparticles
TL;DR: The frequency-domain boundary element formulation for solving surface second-harmonic generation from nanoparticles of virtually arbitrary shape and material uses the Rao-Wilton-Glisson basis functions and Galerkin's testing, which leads to very accurate solutions for both near and far fields.
