Abstract

Nanoantennas made of high-index semiconductors with a strong nonlinearity and supported optical Mie-type resonances offer a promising alternative platform for nonlinear nanophotonics. In this Letter, we employ an array of amorphous silicon nanodisks with varying diameters to produce a broadband deep-ultraviolet third harmonic of a few-cycle Ti:sapphire oscillator. Ultrashort light pulses efficiently deposit their energy at the center of the disks where the electric field is strongly amplified by the anapole states. This leads to a progressive material modification in an extreme multishot (>1010 pulses) and a rather low fluence (
