Magnetic Fano resonance enhanced second-harmonic generation in chiral hybrid bismuth halides

Magnetic Fano resonance provides a potential opportunity to control both linearity and nonlinearity of light for their low radiation loss and near-field enhancement. Previous investigations have demonstrated its significant enhancement of nonlinearity in a plasmonic structure and the 2D materials coupled to it. In this work, the enhancement of second harmonic generation (SHG) of hybrid bismuth halides at the important communication wavelength of 1550 nm with a magnetic Fano dip is theoretically studied. To this end, a hybrid system composed of two asymmetric silver square split rings (SSRs) and this chiral perovskite film is designed. The simulation results show that magnetic Fano-like resonance is induced at the destructive interface of two magnetic modes in the SSR dimer, which can be inherited to hybrid bismuth halides, thereby leading to the increase of four orders of magnitude in its SH near-field enhancement factor. With a peak intensity of 0.16 GW cm(-2), the composite structure features a high SHG conversion efficiency of up to 1.6 x 10(-3) at the Fano resonance position. By rotating the polarization angle of fundamental optical excitation, the emitted SHG signal is switched on-off. Our research provides a valuable thought for enhancing the nonlinear optical process of the perovskite films by coupling the magnetic modes.
