Electrodynamical Light Trapping Using Whispering-Gallery Resonances in Hyperbolic Cavities
We theoretically study spherical cavities composed of hyperbolic metamaterials with indefinite permittivity tensors. Such cavities are capable of electrodynamically confining fields with deep subwavelength cavity sizes. The supported resonant modes are analogous to the whispering-gallery modes found...
