Gold nanoparticles display exceptionally strong β values. We demonstrated that the first hyperpolarizability (β) strongly depends on surface area of gold nanoparticles.

A significant enhancement of the second harmonic generation (SHG) from second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) dyes in solution has been evidenced when these dyes were grafted onto the surface of spherical gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), as compared to their NLO response without AuNPs. The length, as well as the nature of the spacers between the gold particle and the chromophore, is shown to play an important role, a benzene linker being more favorable to AuNP-4-dimethylamino-N-methyl-4-stilbazolium tosylate (DAST) interactions, as illustrated by a higher exaltation of the NLO response for DAST molecules linked to AuNP via a phenyl ring as compared to their equivalent with a CH2–CH2 link.

We have evidenced strong first hyperpolarizabilities in silver nanorods (AgNRs) for the first time. The first hyperpolarizability β values linearly depend on the surface area of AgNRs.

Here, we demonstrate the utility of the second harmonic generation (SHG) for refractometric sensing in the solution phase. We employ an aqueous colloid of gold nanorods as our sensors and,...
