We investigate computationally the electromagnetic response of composite media made from high-aspect ratio nanoparticle arrays. The shape and local ordering of the nanoparticles can be used to both confine and enhance the local electric fields induced in response to static and propagating fields. When such nanoparticle arrays are hybridized with electrooptic polymers and subjected to a poling field, we show that the nanoparticles can enable variant tensor orientations and lower poling thresholds. From an effective medium perspective, we find that the Pockels coefficients of the nanoparticle-polymer composites can be enhanced by more than an order of magnitude. © 2013 AIP Publishing LLC.
