| contents | Optically resonant particles are key building blocks of many nanophotonic devices such as optical antennas and metasurfaces. Because the functionalities of such devices are largely determined by the optical properties of individual resonators, extending the attainable responses from a given particle is highly desirable. Practically, this is usually achieved by introducing an asymmetric dielectric environment. However, commonly used simple substrates have limited influences on the optical properties of the particles atop. Here, we show that the multipolar scattering of silicon microspheres can be effectively modified by placing the particles on a dielectric-covered mirror, which tunes the coupling between the Mie resonances of microspheres and the standing waves and waveguide modes in the dielectric spacer. This tunability allows selective excitation, enhancement, and suppression of the multipolar resonances and enables scattering at extended wavelengths, providing new opportunities in controlling light-matter interactions for various applications. We further demonstrate with experiments the detection of molecular fingerprints by single-particle mid-infrared spectroscopy, and, with simulations strong optical repulsive forces that could elevate the particles from a substrate. |
