Optical Beam Steering With an All-Silicon Particle Chain

Optical beam steering is fundamental and important in optics and photonics. In this study, we report a nearly total negative angle refraction over a wide angle range when an optical beam passes through an all-silicon particle chain. This phenomenon is concluded as the product of an interference effe...

description Optical beam steering is fundamental and important in optics and photonics. In this study, we report a nearly total negative angle refraction over a wide angle range when an optical beam passes through an all-silicon particle chain. This phenomenon is concluded as the product of an interference effect of the double modes excited in the chain, which has potential applications for on-chip beam manipulation, routing, and filtering for its simplicity and low loss nature.
