Improving the conversion efficiency is particularly important for the generation and applications of harmonic waves in optical microstructures. Herein, we propose to enhance the efficiency of third harmonic generation by integrating a monolayer WS with the metal/dielectric/photonic crystal multilayer structure. The numerical simulations show that the multilayer structure enables to generate the Tamm plasmon mode between the metal film and photonic crystal around the telecommunication wavelength, which is consistent with the experimental result. By measuring with a self-built nonlinear optical micro-spectroscopy system, we find that the third harmonic signal can be reinforced by 16-fold through inserting the monolayer WS in the dielectric spacer. This work will provide a new way for improving nonlinear optical response, especially THG in multilayer photonic microstructures.
