Abstract
A nonlinear optical system comprises a metallic film having a first side and a second side. The nonlinear optical system further comprises a regular array of slits in the metallic film. The slits connect the first and second sides of the metallic film. The array is configured to selectively transmit through the metallic film light having frequencies of a selected frequency band. The nonlinear optical system still further comprises a nonlinear optical material situated within the slit.
