Their two-photon luminescence (TPL) and second harmonic generation (SHG) were investigated. The results show that the TPL and SHG intensity of gold plates is dependent on the wavelength and polarization of excitation laser. The TPL intensity of gold plates decreases with the increase of the excitation wavelength except for a small peak around 820\u2013840 nm, while SHG intensity increases with the excitation wavelength redshift. In addition, it is found that the TPL intensity of the gold plate\u2019s edge is related with the angle between the edge orientation and the polarization direction of the excitation light. The TPL intensity increases with the angle increase from 0\u00b0 to 90\u00b0.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s141018328","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,9,29]],"date-time":"2014-09-29T11:16:45Z","timestamp":1411989405000},"page":"18328-18336","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Two-Photon Luminescence and Second Harmonic Generation from Gold Micro-Plates"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Xu","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences,  West Beichen Road NO.1, Chaoyang District, Beijing 100101, China"},{"name":"Institute of Optoelectronic Materials and Technology, South China Normal University,  West Zhongshan Avenue NO.55, Tianhe District, Guangzhou 510631, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hao","family":"Shi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Optoelectronic Materials and Technology, South China Normal University,  West Zhongshan Avenue NO.55, Tianhe District, Guangzhou 510631, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Naiyin","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Optoelectronic Materials and Technology, South China Normal University,  West Zhongshan Avenue NO.55, Tianhe District, Guangzhou 510631, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lianghui","family":"Cheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Optoelectronic Materials and Technology, South China Normal University,  West Zhongshan Avenue NO.55, Tianhe District, Guangzhou 510631, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ying","family":"Gao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Optoelectronic Materials and Technology, South China Normal University,  West Zhongshan Avenue NO.55, Tianhe District, Guangzhou 510631, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lu","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences,  West Beichen Road NO.1, Chaoyang District, Beijing 100101, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yuqiang","family":"Jiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences,  West Beichen Road NO.1, Chaoyang District, Beijing 100101, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,9,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2309","DOI":"10.1002\/adma.200802312","article-title":"Bioimaging with two-photon-induced luminescence from triangular nanoplates and nanoparticle aggregates of gold","volume":"21","author":"Jiang","year":"2009","journal-title":"Adv.
