Article Synopsis
- Optically resonant particles, crucial for nanophotonic devices like antennas and metasurfaces, greatly depend on their individual optical properties, which can be improved by altering their environment.
- This research presents a method where silicon microspheres placed on a dielectric-covered mirror can fine-tune the interaction between their resonances and surrounding wave modes, allowing for precise control over their optical responses.
- Experimental results show the potential for these modified particles in applications such as detecting molecular fingerprints through mid-infrared spectroscopy and creating strong optical forces to lift the particles off the substrate.
