Effects of Geometrical Order on the Linear and Nonlinear Optical Properties of Metal Nanoparticles

This dissertation describes experimental and computational studies of the effects of ordered arrangement on the linear and nonlinear optical properties of metal nanoparticles. The principal result is that second-harmonic light may be generated and observed from nanoparticle gratings having maximum i...
