摘要： Controlling light scattering by nanoparticles is fundamentally important for the understanding and the control of light with photonic nanostructures, as well as for nanoparticle scattering itself, including Mie scattering. Here, we theoretically and numerically investigate the possibility to manipulate nanoparticle scattering by wavefront shaping that was initially developed to control light scattered by large numbers of nanoparticles in nanophotonic media. By employing a scattering matrix analysis, we find that even a single nanoparticle supports multiple strongly scattering eigenchannels, suggesting wavefront shaping as a promising tool to manipulate scattered light of a single nanoparticle. By sending in shaped wavefronts, we selectively excite eigenchannels, as is apparent from the distinct field distributions. These scattering eigenchannels are related to different resonant leaky modes of the scatterer, that reveal remarkable localized "hot spots" where the field is substantially enhanced. Moreover, we investigate the backscattered spectra; to this send in wavefronts relevant for a particular eigenchannel, and observe that the backscattered spectrum reveals not only the excited channel but also several others. This result points to the existence of short and long-range spectral correlations for an eigenchannel. Our work offers a flexible tool to manipulate light scattering of a single nanoparticle, and thus opens new possibilities to control field patterns and light-matter interactions in a nanoparticle, as well as to explore new features of nanoparticle scattering such as the spectral correlation and temporal response of light scattered by nano scatterers, including Mie spheres.

摘要： Photonic analogs of the moir\'e superlattices mediated by interlayer electromagnetic coupling are expected to give rise to rich phenomena such as nontrivial flatband topology. Here we propose and demonstrate a scheme to tune the flatbands in a bilayer moir\'e superlattice by employing the band-offset. The band-offset is changed by fixing the bands of one slab but shifting that of the other slab, which is realized by changing the thickness of latter slab. Our results show that the band-offset tuning not only makes a few flatbands emerge and disappear, but also leads to two sets of robustly formed flatbands. These robust flatbands form either at the AA-stack site or at the AB-stack site, enabling the construction of a tunable, high-quality, and doubly-resonant single-cell superlattice. Moreover, we develop a diagrammatic model to give an intuitive insight into the formation of the robust flatbands. Our work demonstrates a simple yet efficient way to design and control complex moir\'e flatbands, providing new opportunities to utilize photonic moir\'e superlattices for advanced light-matter interaction including lasing and nonlinear harmonic generation.
