Abstract Nanocavity devices enabling concentration of light in a very small volume have resulted several interesting applications over the past years. Of particular interest are asymmetric resonance lineshapes known as Fano resonances, which result from interference between discrete mode nanocavity and continuum background modes. Compared to conventional symmetric Lorentzian lineshape, enable novel or improved device structures for use optical switches, sensors, lasers, narrow band filters....
