| Abstract: | We report on low-order harmonic generation utilising the plasmonic field enhancement in arrays of rod-type gold optical antennae. Furthermore, we examine their suitability to support high-order harmonic generation (HHG). The low-order harmonics are used as a tool to investigate the nonlinear properties of the antennae. Particular attention is paid to the thermal properties, which become significant at the peak intensities necessary for HHG. A theoretical model explains the experimental findings and enables future improvements. In experiments we observe up to the fifth harmonic order and measure a field enhancement sufficient to support high-order harmonic generation. Moreover, we find a damage threshold for the antennae. |
