Recently, we observed the emergence of a new field of all-dielectric resonant metaphotonics aiming at the manipulation of strong optically-induced electric and magnetic Mie-type resonances in dielectric nanostructures with high refractive index. Unique advantages of dielectric resonant nanostructures over their metallic counterparts are low dissipative losses and the enhancement of both electric and magnetic fields that provide competitive alternatives for some problems in plasmonics including optical nanoantennas, biosensors, active metasurfaces, and metadevices.

In this webinar hosted by the OSA Photonic Metamaterials Technical Group, Yuri Kivshar of Australian National University will discuss applications of all-dielectric Mie-resonant metaphotonics in active and nonlinear nanophotonics as well as the recently emerged fields of topological photonics.

What You Will Learn:

• The participants of this webinar will learn how to employ all-dielectric metastructures with Mie resonances for various applications in active, nonlinear and topological photonics.

Who Should Attend:

• Research scientists and engineers in university, government and industrial laboratories
• Master and PhD students
