Collective Effects and Coupling Phenomena in Resonant Optical Metasurfaces

Submissions Open: 15 December 2018

Submission Deadline: 1 February 2019

When nano-objects are organized into periodic arrays, the interplay between localized resonances supported by the individual nano-objects and the diffracted orders of the array produces a collective resonance called a lattice mode or a surface lattice resonance (SLR). Besides SLRs, there are many efforts to understand the various modes sustained by metasurfaces, from the individual meta-atom to the entire metasurface. Such resonances are appealing for enhancement of a broad spectrum of phenomena, including luminescence emission, light concentration, nonlinear effects, and for applications in metasurfaces, beaming, and nano-lasers, to name only a few.

This feature will highlight current research on surface lattice resonances and metasurfaces.

Topics to be covered include but are not limited to:

  • New designs and characterization of metasurfaces sustaining SLRs
  • Linear and non-linear optical properties of arrays and oligomers of nanoparticles
  • Coupling of quantum emitters with arrays
  • SLR-assisted lasing
  • Structural colors
  • SLR- based sensors
  • Control of light scattering with lattice excitations
  • Fano resonances
  • Disordered metasurfaces

All papers need to present original, previously unpublished work, and will be subject to the normal standards and peer-review process of the journal. Manuscripts must be prepared according to the usual guidelines for submission to JOSA B and must be uploaded through OSA's electronic submission system. When submitting, please specify that the manuscript is for the Collective effects and coupling phenomena in resonant optical metasurfaces feature issue (choose from the drop-down menu).
