Abstract

The arbitrary manipulation of optical waves in the subwavelength dimension is a fundamental issue for the microminiaturization and integration of optic parts. In the past decade, major efforts were focused on the surface plasmon resonance mostly exhibited by metallic nanostructures, which could effectively capture and concentrate the visible light at the cost of high levels of intrinsic losses. However, the use of all-dielectric nanostructures can avoid the abovementioned problem due to lower intrinsic losses and the presence of abundant resonance modes. Herein, as a kind of building block for light manipulation, GaAs nanogrooves were fabricated and studied to obtain comprehensive information about the resonance modes in an individual all-dielectric nanogroove; by placing a single Si nanosphere in an isolated GaAs nanocavity, the nanogroove scattering could be controlled depending on the coupling strength of nanogrooves. The Lorentzian line approximation and harmonic oscillator coupling model were used to pursue the interactions among the resonance modes. Experimental and theoretical studies showed that this heterostructure could trap the broadband visible light in the back and filter the light with a specific wavelength in the front. These findings suggest that the proposed heterostructure can act as a light filter and an antenna on nanophotonic chips due to its unique optical properties.
