Abstract

Nonlinear plasmonics has generated significant interest in recent years due to its potential applications for detection, sensing, imaging, and communication. Electromagnetic behavior of metals in the optical range is usually characterized by a local-linear response. In this talk, we will introduce a finite-difference time-domain solution to the Maxwell-hydrodynamic equations that describe nonlocal and nonlinear interaction between electromagnetic waves and free electrons in metals. By explicitly imposing the current-continuity constraint, the coupled multiphysics model is solved in a self-consistent manner. Using the spatial and temporal interpolation schemes inspired by fundamental conservation laws, charge, energy and angular momenta are numerically conserved during the discretization of the Maxwell-hydrodynamic equations. The model yields nonlinear optical responses for complex metallic nanostructures irradiated by a variety of waveforms including linearly and circularly polarized plane waves. Based on this model, we not only realize a unidirectional radiation of nonlinear scattered waves in the second-harmonic generation but also describe terahertz generation from metallic metamaterials in the difference-frequency generation. Consequently, the multiphysics model and understanding open up unique opportunities for characterizing and designing nonlinear plasmonic nanodevices.
