Electric and magnetic dipolar response of Germanium spheres: Interference effects, scattering anisotropy and optical forces

Raquel Gómez-Medina, Braulio García-Cámara, Irene Suárez-Lacalle +4

We address the scattering cross sections, and their consequences, for submicrometer Germanium spheres. It is shown that there is a wide window in the near infrared where light scat…
