  text: Plasmonic nanoantennas for visible and infrared radiation strongly improve
    the interaction of light with the matter on the nanoscale due to their strong
    near-field enhancement. In this study, we investigate a double-resonant plasmonic
    nanoantenna, which makes use of plasmonic field enhancement, enhanced outcoupling
    of second harmonic light, and resonant lattice effects. Using this design, we
    demonstrate how the efficiency of second harmonic generation can be increased
    significantly by fully embedding the nanoantennas into nonlinear dielectric material
    ZnO, instead of placing them on the surface. Investigating two different processes,
    we found that the best fabrication route is embedding the gold nanoantennas in
    ZnO using an MBE overgrowth process where a thin ZnO layer was deposited on nanoantennas
    fabricated on a ZnO substrate. In addition, second harmonic generation measurements
    show that the embedding leads to an enhancement compared to the emission of nanoantennas
    placed on the ZnO substrate surface. These promising results facilitate further
    research to determine the influence of the periodicity of the nanoantenna arrangement
    of the resulting SHG signal.
