Nonlinear signal even from a single molecule becomes visible at hot spots of plasmonic nanoparticles. In these structures, Fano resonances can control the nonlinear response in two ways. (i) A linear Fano resonance can enhance the hot spot field, resulting enhanced nonlinear signal. (ii) A nonlinear Fano resonance can enhance the nonlinear signal without enhancing the hot spot. In this study, we compare the enhancement of second harmonic signal at the steady-state obtained via these two methods. Since we are interested in the steady-state signal, we adapt a linear enhancement which works at the steady-state. This is different than the dark-hot resonances that appear in the transparency window due to enhanced plasmon lifetime.

Spin–orbit effects on the nonlinear optical properties of a quantum dot in simultaneous electric and magnetic fields
Aytekin, O.; Turgut, Sadi; Tomak, Mehmet (Elsevier BV, 2014-11)
We report on the nonlinear optical properties of a quantum dot including the Rashba spin-orbit interaction (RSOI) with external electric and magnetic fields. The effect of dot size is considered. We do not make any assumptions about the strength of the confinement. We use the numerical diagonalization of the Hamiltonian to determine the electronic structure. The confining potential is taken to be of the Woods-Saxon type. We find the effect of RSOI on nonlinear optical coefficients.
Engineering nonlinear response of nanomaterials using Fano resonances
Turkpence, Deniz; Akguc, Gursoy B.; Bek, Alpan; Taşgın, Mehmet Emre (IOP Publishing, 2014-10-01)
We show that nonlinear optical processes of nanoparticles can be controlled by the presence of interactions with a molecule or a quantum dot. By choosing the appropriate level spacing for the quantum emitter, one can either suppress or enhance the nonlinear frequency conversion. We reveal the underlying mechanism for this effect, which is already observed in recent experiments: (i) suppression occurs simply because transparency induced by Fano resonance does not allow an excitation at the converted frequenc...
Analysis of reconstruction performance of magnetic resonance conductivity tensor imaging (MRCTI) using simulated measurements
DEĞİRMENCİ, EVREN; Eyüboğlu, Behçet Murat (2017-01-01)
Magnetic resonance conductivity tensor imaging (MRCTI) was proposed recently to produce electrical conductivity images of anisotropic tissues. Similar to magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography (MREIT), MRCTI uses magnetic field and boundary potential measurements obtained utilizing magnetic resonance imaging techniques. MRCTI reconstructs tensor images of anisotropic conductivity whereas MREIT reconstructs isotropic conductivity images. In this study, spatial resolution and linearity of five rec...
RF Coil Design for MRI Applications in Inhomogeneous Main Magnetic Fields
Yılmaz, Ayşen; Eyueboglu, B. M. (2006-09-01)
Conventional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) techniques require homogeneous main magnetic fields. However, MRI applications that are executed in inhomogenous main magnetic fields have been developed in recent years. In this study, RF coil geometries are designed for MRI applications in inhomogeneous magnetic fields. Method of moments is used to obtain the current density distribution on a predefined surface that can produce a desired magnetic field, which is perpendicular to the given inhomogenous main mag...
Enhanced Optical Absorption and Spectral Photocurrent in a-Si:H by Single- and Double-Layer Silver Plasmonic Interfaces
Saleh, Zaki M.; NASSER, Hisham; ÖZKOL, Engin; GÜNÖVEN, Mete; ALTUNTAS, Burcu; Bek, Alpan; Turan, Raşit (2014-04-01)
Single and double plasmonic interfaces consisting of silver nanoparticles embedded in media with different dielectric constants including SiO2, SiNx, and Al:ZnO have been fabricated by a self-assembled dewetting technique and integrated to amorphous silicon films. Single plasmonic interfaces exhibit plasmonic resonances whose frequency is red-shifted with increasing particle size and with the thickness of a dielectric spacer layer. Double plasmonic interfaces consisting of two different particle sizes exhib...
