Nonlinear Nanophotonics and MetasurfacesAbstract
Future technologies underpinning high-performance optical communications, ultrafast
computations, and compact biosensing will rely on densely packed reconfigurable
optical circuitry based on subwavelength optics, often called nanophotonics. For
many years, plasmonics was considered as the only available platform for
subwavelength optics, but the recently emerged field of Mie resonant metaphotonics
provides practical alternatives for nanoscale photonic technologies by employing
resonances in high-index dielectric nanoparticles and metasurfaces. In this talk I
aim to introduce this recently emerged new field and discuss the physics of
dielectric Mie-resonant structures governed by resonances in dielectric
nanoantennas and metasurfaces. I will pay a special attention to discussing
nonlinear effects such as harmonic generation from nanoantennas, nonlinear imaging
with metasurfaces, and self-action effects observed in nonlinear metasurfaces.
