Nanophotonics Research Involving Undergraduates at Illinois State University

Resonant excitation and manipulation of dielectric nanostructures (such as Silicon, Germanium) provide great opportunities for engineering novel optical phenomena and applications. At Illinois State University (ISU), Manna Lab is involved in investigating various aspects of optical properties of dielectric nanostructures involving undergraduate students. Here, we will present our recent efforts on selective excitation and enhancement of multipolar resonances, and excitation non-radiating anapoles in dielectric nanostructures.
