All-Dielectric Nanophotonic Structures: Exploring the Magnetic Component of Light

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Recent Trends in Computational Photonics

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Optical Sciences ((SSOS,volume 204))

Abstract

We discuss nanophotonic structures composed of high-index dielectric nanoparticles and present several basic approaches for numerical study of their collective optical response. We also provide comparison on the collective optical properties of dielectric and plasmonic structures, and review experimental demonstrations of Fano resonances in all-dielectric nanoparticle oligomers.
