Abstract
Recent progress is subwavelength optics is driven by the physics of optical resonances. This provides a novel platform for localization of light in subwavelength photonic structures and opens new horizons for metamaterial-enabled photonics, or metaphotonics. Recently emerged field of Mie-resonant metaphotonics (also called "Mie-tronics") employs resonances in high-index dielectric nanoparticles and dielectric metasurfaces and aiming for novel applications of subwavelength optics and photonics, benefiting from low material losses and optically-induced magnetic response. In this talk, I will review the recent advances in Mie-tronics and its applications in metaphotonics and metasurfaces, including enhancement of light-matter interaction for nonlinear metadevices and chiral metaphotonics.

Bio

Yuri Kivshar received PhD degree in 1984 in Kharkov (Ukraine). He left the Soviet Union in 1989 and after several visiting positions in Europe, he settled in Australia in 1993. He is Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science since 2002, and also Fellow of Optica, APS, SPIE, and IOP. He received many awards, more recently 2022 Max Born Award (Optica, former OSA). His research interests include nonlinear physics, metamaterials, and nanophotonics.
