Abstract

Subwavelength particles with hyperbolic light dispersion in the constituent medium are a promising alternative to plasmonic, high-refractive-index dielectric, and semiconductor structures in the practical realization of nanoscale optical elements. Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) is a layered van der Waals material with natural hyperbolic properties and low-loss phonon-polaritons at the same time. In this work, we consider multipole excitations and antennas properties of hBN particles with an emphasis on the periodic arrangement and collective array modes. We analyze excitation of lattice resonances in the antenna array and effect of resonance shifts and overlap with other multipoles supported by particles in the lattice. In such periodic structure, a decrease of reflectance from the array is achieved with appropriate lattice spacing (periods) where the electric and magnetic multipoles overlap, and the resonance oscillations are in phase and comparable in magnitude. We theoretical demonstrate that in this case, generalized Kerker condition is satisfied, and hBN antennas in the array efficiently scatter light in the predominantly forward direction resulting in near-zero reflectance. The resonant lattice Kerker effect with hyperbolic-medium antennas can be applied in developing metasurfaces based on hBN resonators for mid-infrared photonics.
