Abstract:

A theoretical study of harmonic generation from a silver grating having slits filled with GaAs has been conducted. The enhanced transmission regime that guarantees high field localization inside the slits, and the phase-locking mechanism that take place between the pump and its harmonics allows enhanced harmonic generation under conditions of high absorption at visible and UV wavelengths.
