dc.description.abstract The object of the present research is to design and fabricate metal-dielectric thin film multilayer structures that make use of the nonlinear optical (NLO) response of Ag for efficient nonlinear absorption for sensor protection. These structures employ structural resonances to overcome the challenges of reflection and absorption that limit access to this large NLO response. The research consists of three parts: first, we present a comprehensive analysis of the contributions to the nonlinear optical response of Ag. Second, we present a systematic investigation of the linear optical properties of Metal-Dielectric Photonic Band-Gap (MDPBG) structures, including optimization of the structure for a particular transmittance spectrum. Third, we study the linear and nonlinear optical properties of Induced Transmission Filters (ITFs). Each of these parts includes experimental results backed by modeling and simulation. en_US
