Abstract

Resonant optical excitation of dielectric particles offers unique opportunities for future optical and nanophotonic devices because of their reduced dissipative losses and large resonant enhancement the near-fields. In this regard, the discovery of electrodynamic ‘anapole mode’ as non-radiating source in high index dielectric materials provides a unique playground to realize new nanophotonic devices. Under specific conditions, the superposition of internal modes can generate non-radiating states, called ‘anapoles’, that are free from radiative loss. Even though, the study of non-radiating objects has been part of fundamental physics for a long time, the dynamic anapole mode in the optical frequencies has only been experimentally demonstrated in 2015 in disk shaped structures. In this talk, I will explore the possibility of excitation of dynamic anapole mode in spherical structures.
