By directing light, optical antennas can enhance light–matter interaction and improve the
efficiency of nanophotonic devices. Here we exploit the interference among the electric …

Unidirectional side scattering of light by a single-element plasmonic nanoantenna is
demonstrated using full-field simulations and back focal plane measurements. We show that …

We experimentally demonstrate single beam directional perfect absorption (to within
experimental accuracy) of p-polarized light in the near-infrared using unpatterned, deep …

Specially designed plasmonic antennas can, by far-field interference of different antenna
elements or a combination of multipolar antenna modes, scatter light unidirectionally …

Achieving high directionality of scattered light in combination with high flexibility of the
direction using plasmonic nanoparticles is desirable for future optical nanocircuits and on …

Directional side scattering of light by individual gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) trimers
assembled by the atomic force microscope (AFM) nanomanipulation method is investigated …

Ultracompact directional optical nanoantennas are rapidly gaining popularity yet still
challenging tasks to construct at the nanoscale. Here, we experimentally demonstrate …

Laser trapping at an interface provides a unique platform for assembling novel multiparticle-
based optical matter that extends well beyond the irradiated area. Optical binding, resulting …

Bidirectional nanoantennas are of key relevance for advanced functionalities to be
implemented at the nanoscale and, in particular, for color routing in an ultracompact flat …

In this paper, we propose a hybrid metallo-dielectric core-shell nanorod for the Kerker-type
effect at two different frequencies. The effect arises from the interference of the scattering …
