“…Apart from the harmonic generation, efficient tuning of optical properties of high-index nanoparticles near magnetic Mie-type resonances by means of femtosecond laser irradiation has also been demonstrated (62). The effect is based on ultrafast (<100 fs) photoinjection of dense electronhole plasma within such nanoparticles, drastically changing their transient dielectric permittivity.…”

A clear approach to nanophotonics The resonant modes of plasmonic nanoparticle structures made of gold or silver endow them with an ability to manipulate light at the nanoscale. However, owing to the high light losses caused by metals at optical wavelengths, only a small fraction of plasmonics applications have been realized. Kuznetsov et al. review how high-index dielectric nanoparticles can offer a substitute for these metals, providing a highly flexible and low-loss route to the manipulation of light at the nanoscale.

“…One of the first examples of these devices is the optical switch [13]. Other recent works show that nanoscale optical switches based in semiconductor nanoparticles are achieved by using ultrafast photoinjection of electron-hole plasma in a single nanoparticle [14] or by two-photon absorption to switch the magnetic Mie resonance [15]. In this sense, we also proposed an all-optical switch based on the directional scattering of semiconductor nanoparticles [16].…”

Control of the Light Interaction in a Semiconductor Nanoparticle Dimer Through Scattering Directionality

Dimers of nanoparticles are very interesting for several devices due to the possibility to obtain intense light concentrations in the gap between them. A dynamic control of this interaction to obtain either a maximum or a minimum of light through interferential effects could be also relevant for a multitude of devices, such as chemical sensors or all-optical devices for inter/intra-chip communications. Semiconductor nanoparticles satisfying Kerker conditions present an anisotropic scattering distribution with a minimum in either the forward or the backward direction, and a prominent scattering in the contrary direction. The reduction or enhancement of the electromagnetic field in a certain direction can minimize or maximize the interaction with neighboring nanoparticles. In this work, we consider a dimer of nanoparticles such that each component satisfies each one of the Kerker conditions. Depending on the arrangement of the nanoparticles respect with the impinging light direction, we can produce a minimum or a maximum of the electric field between them, reducing or maximizing the interferential effects. The strong dependence of the directional conditions with external conditions, such as the incident wavelength, can be used to dynamically control the light concentration in the gap.

“…Therefore, implementation of plasmonic principles for developing of all-dielectric nonlinear nanodevices looks tempting. Recently, the enhancement of optical nonlinearities in resonant Si nanostructures has been demonstrated theoretically and experimentally at the scale of single nanoparticles [58][59][60][61][194][195][196][197].…”

In this Article, we review a novel, rapidly developing field of modern light science named alldielectric nanophotonics. This branch of nanophotonics is based on the properties of high-index dielectric nanoparticles which allow for controlling both magnetic and electric responses of a nanostructured matter. Here, we discuss optical properties of high-index dielectric nanoparticles, methods of their fabrication, and recent advances in practical applications, including the quantum source emission engineering, Fano resonances in all-dielectric nanoclusters, surface enhanced spectroscopy and sensing, coupled-resonator optical waveguides, metamaterials and metasurfaces, and nonlinear nanophotonics.
