Simulation of nanophotonic nonlinear metasurfaces

Abstract

Nonlinear metasurfaces offer a new approach for nonlinear optics, with limitless design potential, very small footprints, no phase matching requirements, all with enhanced and controlled nonlinear processes. Alongside this is the need for simulation tools that can exploit this design potential and understand the properties of such devices. In this talk, we will review some of the most used methods in nonlinear nanophotonics simulations, and present some examples of such simulations of nonlinear plasmonic metasurfaces.
