Nonlinear optical frequency conversion on the nanoscale remains a challenge, but may pave the path towards multi-functional optical circuits. Surface plasmon fields are highly spatially confined near the metal/dielectric interface and exhibit giant field enhancement. These two attributes are invaluable for nonlinear optics with plasmons. However, second-harmonic generation in bulk is forbidden in centro-symmetric materials such as typical noble metals. Past efforts concentrated on the broken symmetry at the surface in combination with an asymmetric shape of the particle. We introduce a new way of breaking the symmetry by a propagating mode of a plasmonic waveguide, a two-wire transmission-line. We demonstrate that an optical mode of correct symmetry is sufficient to allow SHG even in centro-symmetric structures made of centro-symmetric material. This is a new degree of freedom for on-chip nonlinear signal processing in nanophotonics.
