Abstract

Lattice resonances in nanoparticle arrays recently have gained a lot of attention because of the possibility to produce spectrally narrow resonant features in transmission and reflection as well as significantly increase absorption in the structures. Most of the efforts so far have been put to study these lattice resonances in dipole approximation. However, the recent research shows that higher multipoles not only produce resonant feature but are also involved in cross-coupling, affect each other, and induce a magnetoelectric response. In the present paper, we review the recent achievements in studying interplay and coupling of different multipoles in periodic nanoparticle arrays and share our vision on further progress of the field.

Figure 1. (a) Reflectance and (b) transmittance that show different lattice resonances at the wavelength λ ≈ 610 nm for various polarizations of the incident light. Legend is the same for both panels indicating different angles of polarization ϕ. The lattice periods are Dx = 220 nm and Dy = 600 nm, and silicon particles have R = 65 nm.

Figure 2. The array transmittance and the change of MD peak resonance wavelength for different periods Dp. Silicon nanoparticles have R = 65 nm, and the arrays are in a dielectric matrix with refractive index n = 1.5. Red line shows the wavelength of Rayleigh anomaly (RA). The transverse period is fixed to Dt = 220 nm.

Extinction cross-section spectra in the dipole σpext and σQext quadrupole approximations calculated per one gold particle of the infinite hexagonal array for the following conditions: normally incident linear polarized optical wave, the radius of the hexagonal cell RS = 600 nm, particle radius Rp = 120 nm, and refractive index of the surrounding medium ns = 1.45. Light wavelengths in a vacuum are presented. Reproduced with permission from Ref. [37] Copyright (2012) American Physical Society.

Figure 4. (a) Comparison of numerical and semi-analytical calculations of reflectance R0 and transmittance T0 for the cases without EQ and MD coupling (“no coupling” in the legend) and with EQ and MD coupling (“with coupling” in the legend). Agreement between semi-analytical calculations and numerical simulations is striking good, and one can see that coupling between EQ and MD multipoles must be taken into account for accurate calculations of resonant profiles. (b) Extinction cross-sections: EQ and MD resonance are excited at the wavelength of Rayleigh anomaly, and these moments make a detrimental contribution to the total extinction cross-section. (c) Transmittance T0 and Text. The nanoparticle array with gold spheres of radius R = 100 nm, gold permittivity is taken from experiment [53], and the array is in a dielectric matrix with refractive index n = 1.47. Periods are Dp = 510 nm and Dt = 250 nm.
