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 …

The original Kerker effect was introduced for a hypothetical magnetic sphere, and initially it
did not attract much attention due to a lack of magnetic materials required. Rejuvenated by …

Dielectrics represent a new frontier for surface-enhanced Raman scattering. They can serve
as either a complement or an alternative to conventional, metal-based SERS, offering key …

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

Free from phase-matching constraints, plasmonic metasurfaces have contributed
significantly to the control of optical nonlinearity and enhancement of nonlinear generation …

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

All-dielectric resonant nanophotonics lies at the heart of modern optics and nanotechnology
due to the unique possibilities to control scattering of light from high-index dielectric …

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 …

Magnetodielectric small spheres present unusual electromagnetic scattering features,
theoretically predicted a few decades ago. However, achieving such behaviour has …
