Manipulating the spontaneous emission rate of optical emitters with all-dielectric nanoparticles benefits from their low-loss nature and thus provides relatively large extrinsic quantum yield. However, such Purcell effect greatly depends on…
Tailoring of electromagnetic spontaneous emission predicted by E. M. Purcell more than 50 years ago has undoubtedly proven to be one of the most important effects in the rich areas of quantum optics and nanophotonics. Although during the…
Magnetic dipole (MD) transitions are intrinsically weak and highly sensitive to emitter orientation and position, making their controlled enhancement at optical frequencies particularly challenging. Here we show that structural symmetry…
