We perform second harmonic spectroscopy of aluminum nanoantenna arrays that exhibit plasmonic resonances at the second harmonic wavelength between 450 and 570 nm by focusing sub-30 fs laser pulses tunable from 900 to 1140 nm onto the nanoantenna arrays. We find that a plasmonic resonance at the second harmonic wavelength boosts the overall nonlinear process by more than an order of magnitude. In particular, in the measurement the resonant second harmonic polarization component is a factor of about 70 stronger when compared to the perpendicular off-resonant second harmonic polarization. Furthermore, the maximum of the second harmonic conversion efficiency is found to be slightly blue-shifted with respect to the peak of the linear optical far-field spectrum. This fact can be understood from a simple model that accounts for the almost off-resonant absorption at the fundamental wavelength and the resonant emission process at the second harmonic.
