Abstract :
We have observed third-harmonic generation by single nanorods in solution and investigated its excitation polarization dependence. Our findings demonstrate the possibility of using third-harmonic signals for correlation spectroscopy, in contrast to conventional fluorescence correlation spectroscopy.
