Engineering Multipole Resonances in Dielectric Metasurfaces for Transmission, Reflection, and Absorption Control

Dielectric metasurfaces have moved to the forefront of nanophotonics, offering flat, low-loss alternatives to conventional bulk optical elements for controlling the amplitude, phase, and polarization of light. These structures are of growing interest to researchers and engineers working on sensing, energy harvesting, and flat optics, as their performance hinges on precisely engineered optical resonances. Full-wave finite element simulation, combined with semianalytical multipole decomposition in the COMSOL Multiphysics® software, gives us a way to not only predict these resonances but also uncover their underlying physical origins. In this webinar, Dr. Pavel Terekhov, postdoctoral researcher at National Institute of Standards and Technology, will trace how a single quadrumer meta-atom, originally studied for its magnetic octupole response, evolves into two distinct light manipulation reg
