Abstract
Infrared converters to visible range are in demand for creation of optoelectronic devices, infrared visualizers and other non-linear optical devices. In this work we study nonlinear optical properties of monodisperse SiO2 and Si/SiO2 spheres encapsulated into silicone films. The fabricated silicone films containing SiO2 spheres demonstrated a bright third harmonic generation signal, and films with Si/SiO2 spheres demonstrated a significant second harmonic generation signal in the whole visible range. The developed materials and methods provide a platform for future infrared to visible converters based on silicon.
