We prepare arrays of gold nanoparticles that include both noncentrosymmetric particles with a second-order nonlinear optical response (active particles) and centrosymmetric particles with no second-order response (passive particles). The plasmon resonances of the active and passive particles are at distinct wavelengths, yet the passive particles modify the electromagnetic modes of the structure in such a way that second-harmonic generation from the active particles is enhanced. Our results provide a completely new concept for optimizing the nonlinear responses of metamaterials. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.110.093902
