Popis: Abstract In this paper, we investigate second harmonic generation in a single hexagonal GaAs nanowire. An excellent frequency converter based on this nanowire excited using a femtosecond laser is demonstrated to operate over a range from 730 nm to 1960 nm, which is wider than previously reported ranges for nanowires in the literature. The converter always operates with a high conversion efficiency of ~10−5 W−1 which is ~103 times higher than that obtained from the surface of bulk GaAs. This nanoscale nolinear optical converter that simultaneously owns high efficiency and broad bandwidth may open a new way for application in imaging, bio-sensing and on-chip all-optical signal processing operations.
