Although previous designs of nonlinear optical (NLO) nanostructures have focused on photonic crystals and metal plasmonic nanostructures, complex structures, large ohmic loss, and Joule heating greatly hinder their practical applications.

Here, we propose a novel plasmonic structure, called asymmetric plasmonic nanocavity grating (APNCG), which is shown to dramatically enhance nonlinear optical process of second harmonic generation (SHG). The proposed structure consists of two different metals on both sides of lithium niobate and a thin layer of graphene. By using two different metals the nonlinear susceptibility of the waveguide would be increased noticeably causing to increase SHG. On the other hand, it consists of two identical gratings on one side. By two identical gratings, the pump beam is coupled to two opposing SPP waves, which interfere with each other and result in SPP standing wave in the region between the two gratings. The distance between two gratings will be optimized to reach the highest SHG. It will be shown that by optimizing the geometry of proposed structure and using different metals, field enhancement in APNCG waveguides can result in large enhancement of SHG.

The class of non-centrosymmetric (NCS) metal chalcogenides is the most favorable candidates for promising nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals in the infrared (IR) band. However, most research achievements pay them attention...
