Surface plasmon polariton (SPP) waves with different frequencies propagate along the upper and lower surfaces of a truncated metallic film and are scattered at its end face. A nanowire, in that vicinity, is pumped by the scattered light, and new harmonics are generated via second-order nonlinear optical effects. Green's function surface integral equation method is exploited to numerically calculate the electric field, the magnetic field, and the power of the generated frequency components. Results show that the power of the generated harmonics depends on the position and radius of the nanowire, thickness of the metallic film, as well as the wavelength of the incident SPP waves. On the other hand, by controlling the phase difference between incident SPP waves having the same frequencies, it is possible to manipulate the electric field pattern and also to change the power of the generated harmonics.
