In a previous study, we have discovered that nonlinear processes can be\nenhanced several orders of magnitude due to the path interference effects which\nare introduced by Fano resonances. Emergence of this phenomenon has been\ndemonstrated also in 3-dimensional solutions of Maxwell equations. However,\nenhancement has been found to be limited by the decay rate of the plasmonic\noscillations. In the present work, we demonstrate that such a limitation can be\nlifted o? when the path interference from two quantum emitters to a plasmonic\nresonator (second harmonic converter) is considered. Enhancement factors much\nlarger than 7 orders of magnitude are possible using such an interference\nscheme. Therefore, a single hybridized system of 3 particles (manufactured\ncarefully) can account for almost all of the second harmonic generated\nradiation emitted from a sample of plasmonic particle clusters decorated with\nquantum emitters (e.g. a spaser).\n
