Abstract
Localization of optical excitations in fractal metal nanocomposites, s uch as colloidal aggregates, self-affine and semicontinuous films, res ults in strong enhancements of optical nonlinearities. The localized m odes of fractals cover a broad spectral range, from the visible to the far-infrared. Results of both theoretical and experimental studies of enhanced nonlinear optical responses of fractal nanostructures are co nsidered.
