Abstract

We present a theoretical treatment of light scattering by an ensemble of N dipoles, taking into account recurrent multiple scattering. We study the intrinsic optical properties of collective dipolar systems without specifying a particular illumination condition. We apply this formalism to study the collective absorption modes for an ensemble of small nanoparticles and then to derive collective radiative corrections due to mutual interactions in dipolar ensembles, a topic of major importance in the development of collective nanophotonic systems or atomic networks used as optical clocks.

集体偶极系统的散射特性

摘要

考虑到递归多次散射，我们提出了一种由N个偶极子的集合对光散射的理论方法。我们研究集体偶极系统的固有光学性质，而未指定特定的照明条件。我们采用这种形式主义来研究一组小纳米粒子的集体吸收模式，然后归因于偶极子集合中的相互作用而得出集体辐射校正，这是发展集体纳米光子系统或用作光钟的原子网络的重要课题。
