Huygens sources are elements that scatter light in the forward direction as used in the Huygens-Fresnel principle. They have remained fictitious until recently where experimental systems have been fabricated. In this letter, we propose…

Unidirectional backward and forward scattering of electromagnetic waves by nanoparticles are usually interpreted as the interference of conventional multipole moments (i.e., electric and magnetic dipole, electric quadrupole, etc.). The role…
