15 Outline Waveguide Meta-material Resonator metal metal Ag air Ag 50 nm

16 Cross-section of an object Total scattered power P s Incident wave Power per unit area I 0 Total absorbed power P a Scattering Cross Section A s = P s I 0 Absorption Cross Section A s = P s I 0

17 Cross-section of an object Incident wave Measures how large an object is seen by externally incident wave. Practically important. Key motivation of many nano-antenna is to have EM cross-section to be much larger than the geometric cross-section.

18 What is the maximal scattering cross-section achievable for a sub-wavelength object? atom EM cross-section On resonance: 2λ π For 2D 3λ 2 2π For 3D >> Atom Size

19 What about a meta-atom? λ = 1.4 micron < λ 2 2π Smaller than the single-channel limit of the atom. Husnik et al, Nature Photonics 2, 614 (2008).

20 Partial-wave expansion exp[ik r] m = 0 m = 1 m = 2 = σ total = m σ m

21 Maximizing single channel contribution Incoming wave a m In general b m a m No scattering when Outgoing wave b m b m = a m Maximum scattering (on resonance) when b m = a m Maximal contribution from single channel σ m = 2λ π

22 Condition for super-scatterer σ total = Atom: resonant only at a single angular momentum channel No contribution from non-resonant channels m σ m atom σ total 2λ π EM cross-section Meta-atom: Create resonances at the same wavelength, at large numbers of angular momentum channels σ total >> 2λ π

23 Multiple resonances at the same wavelength β dielectric metal β ( ω m ) 2πr = 2mπ

24 metal dielectric Super light scattering from sub-wavelength scatterer Size of scatterer: 0.32λ Scattering cross-section: 8 * 2λ / π Far beyond the single-channel limit!

29 Super and sub-radiant states Broad resonance (superradiant) Narrow resonance (subradiant) Intensity Frequency Intensity Frequency

30 Orthogonal Radiation Patterns Broad resonance (superradiant) Narrow resonance (subradiant) Low Q High Q

31 Super-scattering Spectrum of transmission cross-section Peak cross section is a sum of contribution from individual resonance. Thus cross-section is not constraint by the upper limit of single resonance cross-section Z. Ruan and S. Fan, Physical Review Letters 105, (2010)
