Lighting of a monochromatic scatterer with virtual gain
arXiv:2107.11519 · doi:10.1088/1402-4896/abf8eb
Abstract
In this work, we discuss the scattering features of a dipolar particle made of large refractive index material by employing the concept of virtual gain and virtual loss. The virtual gain and loss can be achieved in a lossless passive nanostructure by shaping the temporal waveform of incident signals in the complex frequency plane. We show that an appropriate tuning of excitation time of the impinging field allows to capture and release the electromagnetic energy on-demand for an arbitrary time scale in a lossless nanosphere. Thus, the nanosphere obliges to emit monochromatic magnetic light which can be tuned throughout the whole visible spectrum by varying the size of the nanosphere. This proposal may find fruitful applications in lab-on-a-chip technologies and the realization of monochromatic sectoral multipole light source with a large quality factor at nanoscale level.
