The LSPR is resonant at a wavelength of an incident light source, wherein a second-order non-linear susceptibility (χ(2)) of the NLO film with respect to the incident light is enhanced by the juxtaposition to the LSPR of the nanoparticles. The non-linear optical material lacks global inversion symmetry.application/pdfen-USPatenthttp://pimg-fpiw.uspto.gov/fdd/13/720/077/0.pdf11842946436/524436/525436/527B82Y20/00G02F1/355G02F1/36157772013
