Abstract
Plasmonic nanostructures provide a new way to improve nonlinear optical effects. As a mode of surface plasmons (SP), localized SPs can highly localize and enhance electromagnetic fields within a subwavelength volume. In this work, we developed a one-dimensional V-groove Ag nanograting. Through simulation, we realized triple-resonance enhanced four-wave mixing (FWM), in which both the excitation and signal waves are in resonance with LSPRs modified by propagating SPs, and can perfectly overlap with each other in each single nanogroove. Compared with that from a flat Ag plate, the FWM enhancement factor can be over six orders of magnitude. Next, we filled the Ag V-groove with nonlinear polymer 2-methoxy-5-(2-ethylhexyloxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene and further improved the enhancement factor to eight orders of magnitude, together with a conversion efficiency of ${1.02} \times {{10}^{- 2}}$. Finally, by changing the water filling ratio, the FWM signal is tuned over 180 nm, while keeping the enhancement factor over seven orders of magnitude.
