Abstract
We demonstrate that spectrally diverse multiple magnetic dipole resonances can be excited in all-dielectric structures lacking rotational symmetry, in contrast to conventionally used spheres, disks, or spheroids. Such multiple magnetic resonances arise from hybrid Mie-Fabry-Perot modes, and can constructively interfere with induced electric dipole moments, thereby leading to novel multifrequency unidirectional scattering. Here we focus on elongated dielectric nanobars, whose magnetic resonances can be spectrally tuned by their aspect ratios. Based on our theoretical results, we suggest all-dielectric multimode metasurfaces and verify them in proof-of-principle microwave experiments. We also believe that the demonstrated property of multimode directionality is largely responsible for the best efficiency of all-dielectric metasurfaces that were recently shown to operate across multiple telecom bands.
