The intensity enhancement is about 1000. We also show that the enhancement increases when the incoming laser frequency $\omega$ is tuned toward the spectral position of the silver plasmon at $2\omega$, proving that the silver nanoparticle modifies the nonlinear emission.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Received:</strong> 8 March 2011, <strong></strong><strong>Accepted:</strong> 30 May 2011; <strong>Edited by:</strong> L.
