Spherical silicon nanoparticles with sizes of a few hundreds nanometers represent unique optical system. According to theoretical predictions based on Mie theory they can exhibit strong magnetic resonances in the visible spectral range. The basic mechanism excitation such modes inside is very similar that split-ring resonators, but one important difference have much smaller losses and are able shift resonance wavelength down frequencies. We experimentally demonstrate for first time these...
Abstract Recently, metasurfaces have received increasing attention due to their ability locally manipulate the amplitude, phase and polarization of light with high spatial resolution. Transmissive based on high‐index dielectric materials are particularly interesting low intrinsic losses compatibility standard industrial processes. Here, it is demonstrated numerically experimentally that a uniform array silicon nanodisks can exhibit close‐to‐unity transmission at resonance in visible...
The numerical aperture (NA) of a lens determines its ability to focus light and resolving capability. Having large NA is very desirable quality for applications requiring small light–matter interaction volumes or angular collections. Traditionally, based on refraction requires precision bulk optics that ends up being expensive thus also specialty item. In contrast, metasurfaces allow the designer circumvent those issues producing high-NA lenses in an ultraflat fashion. However, so far, these...
Localized optical resonances in metallic nanostructures have been increasingly used color printing, demonstrating unprecedented resolution but limited gamut. Here, we introduce a new nanostructure design, which broadens the gamut while retaining print resolution. Instead of metals, silicon that exhibit localized magnetic and electric dipole were fabricated on substrate coated with Si3N4 index matching layer. Index allows suppression effects, thus enabling Kerker's conditions to be met, is,...

Polarization is a key property defining the state of light. It was discovered by Brewster, while studying light reflected from materials at different angles. This led to first polarizers, based on Brewster's effect. Now, one trends in photonics study miniaturized devices exhibiting similar, or improved, functionalities compared with bulk optical elements. In this work, it theoretically predicted that properly designed all-dielectric metasurface exhibits generalized effect potentially for any...
Lithium niobate (LN) has experienced significant developments during past decades due to its versatile properties, especially large electro-optic (EO) coefficient. For example, bulk LN-based modulators with high speeds and a superior linearity are widely used in typical fiber-optic communication systems. However, ever-increasing demands for signal transmission capacity, the power size of devices pose great challenges, when one counterparts, integrated silicon photonics, dramatic recent...

The and supporting structures (e.g., microactuators, anchors, frames, etc.) are fabricated silicon‐on‐insulator wafer using deep reactive‐ion etching (DRIE). By adjusting distance between two ASRRs, strength dipole–dipole coupling can be tuned continuously actuators this enables...
The passage of a free-electron beam through nano-hole in periodically layered metal/dielectric structure creates new type tuneable, nanoscale radiation source - 'light-well'. With lateral size just few hundred nanometers, and an emission intensity ~200 W/cm^2 such light-wells may be employed nanophotonic circuits as chip-scale sources, or densely packed ensembles for optical memory display applications.
Wavefront manipulation in metasurfaces typically relies on phase mapping with a finite number of elements. In particular, discretized linear profile may be used to obtain beam bending functionality. However, discretization limits the applicability this approach for high angle due drastic efficiency drop when is mapped by small work, we discuss novel concept energy redistribution diffraction gratings and its application visible spectrum range, which helps overcome constraints ultrahigh (above...
