We investigate the light transmission and reflection spectra of parity-time (PT) symmetric dielectric metasurfaces composed of high refractive index nanostructures with in-plane gain-loss modulation through the scattering matrix and semianalytical Cartesian multipoles methods. We find that the Kerker effects, i.e., the strong forwardto-backward asymmetric scattering originating from overlapping the electric and magnetic multipolar resonances, can be tailored by the gain and loss. In addition, we observe another kind of high-Q resonances, i.e., quasi-bound states in the continuum which couple to the electric and magnetic multipolar radiations, in the transmission and reflection spectra with different incident polarizations lights by manipulating the gain and loss in the metasurfaces. Our results suggest the ways to achieve Kerker effects and engineer the resonances in non-Hermitian metasurfaces for many practical applications in nanophotonics.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
