Abstract
Second-order nonlinear processes such as second-harmonic generation (SHG)
require noncentrosymmetric structures. The development of second-order
metamaterials, however, has been hampered by symmetry breaking due to sample defects
and shape distortions. The resulting outcomes can be interpreted in terms of
effective higher-multipole (magnetic and quadrupole) effects that strongly modify
the radiative properties of the samples.
