Directional visible light scattering by silicon nanoparticles
arXiv:1212.3104 · doi:10.1038/ncomms2538
Abstract
Directional light scattering by spherical silicon nanoparticles in the visible spectral range is experimentally demonstrated for the first time. These unique scattering properties arise due to simultaneous excitation and mutual interference of magnetic and electric dipole resonances inside a single nanosphere. Directivity of the far-field radiation pattern can be controlled by changing light wavelength and the nanoparticle size. Forward-to-backward scattering ratio above 6 can be experimentally obtained at visible wavelengths. These unique properties of silicon nanoparticles make them promising for design of novel low-loss visible- and telecom-range nanoantenna devices.
