BACKGROUND Nanoscale optics is usually associated with plasmonic structures made of
metals such as gold or silver. However, plasmonics suffers from high losses of metals …

This article reviews recent progress leading to the realization of planar optical components
made of a single layer of phase shifting nanostructures. After introducing the principles of …

Photonic metasurfaces, that is, two-dimensional arrangements of designed plasmonic or
dielectric resonant scatterers, have been established as a successful concept for controlling …

Interference of optically induced electric and magnetic modes in high-index all-dielectric
nanoparticles offers unique opportunities for tailoring directional scattering and engineering …

Directional light scattering by spherical silicon nanoparticles in the visible spectral range is
experimentally demonstrated for the first time. These unique optical properties arise …

Single-photon nanoantennas are broadband strongly scattering nanostructures placed in
the near field of a single quantum emitter, with the goal to enhance the coupling between the …

The photonic resonances hosted by nanostructures provide vivid colors that can be used as
color filters instead of organic colors and pigments in photodetectors and printing …

Silicon nanoparticles with sizes of a few hundred nanometres exhibit unique optical
properties due to their strong electric and magnetic dipole responses in the visible range …

We study in detail a novel type of optical nanoantennas made of high-permittivity low-loss
dielectric particles. In addition to the electric resonances, the dielectric particles exhibit very …

We present the first experimental demonstration of zero backscattering from nanoparticles at
optical frequencies as originally discussed by Kerker et al.[Kerker, M.; Wang, D.; Giles, CJ …
