Mie Resonant Structural Colors
Abstract
Structural colors refer to colors produced by the interference of light scattered by judiciously arranged nano- or microscopic structures. In this Forum Article, we discuss the use of Mie resonant scattering in structural colors with dielectric and metal-dielectric hybrid structures to achieve notable figures of merit in pixel size and gamut range. Compared with plasmonic structures, resonant dielectric and hybrid structures are subjected to less loss while providing strong field confinement and large scattering cross sections, making them appealing for realizing vibrant colors at ultrahigh resolutions. We outline the basic principles behind Mie resonances in analytically solvable structures and highlight the relation between these resonances and color with demonstrations in dielectric metasurfaces. Mie resonant colors occurring in nonplanar designs including disordered systems are also explored. We review recent advances in dynamic and reversibly tunable Mie resonant colors and conclude by providing an outlook for future research directions.

Initial investigations into metasurface spectral filters used plasmonic metals, but there has been a gradual shift towards all-dielectric metasurfaces owing to their comparatively lesser optical absorption.
“Initial investigations into metasurface spectral filters used plasmonic metals [8–13], but there has been a gradual shift towards all-dielectric metasurfaces (ADM) [14–17] owing to their comparatively lesser optical absorption.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
