Meta-optics based on optically-resonant dielectric nanostructures is a rapidly developing research field with many potential applications. Halide perovskite metasurfaces emerged recently as a novel platform for meta-optics, and they offer…

At present, optical anapole resonances in nanostructures have attracted increasing attention due to the strong field confinement and substantially suppressed scattering. This study provides the results of three-dimensional finite-difference…

Multi-junction solar cells provide a path to overcome the efficiency limits of standard silicon solar cells by harvesting more efficiently a broader range of the solar spectrum. However, Si-based multi-junction architectures are hindered by…

With theoretical analyses and numerical calculations, we show that a passive scatterer at the sub-wavelength scale can simultaneously exhibit both nearly zero forward scattering (NZFS) and nearly zero backward scattering (NZBF). It is…

Conventional phased-array metasurfaces utilize resonant nanoparticles or nanowaveguides to specify spatially-dependent amplitude and phase responses to light. In nearly all these implementations, subwavelength-scale elements are stitched…
