A new type of resonant light absorption by a small particle (nanocluster) is reported. The problem cannot be described within the commonly used dipole scattering approximation and should be studied with methods based upon the exact Mie solution. It is shown that the absorption cross-section has giant maxima realized at small values of the imaginary part of the complex dielectric permittivity of the particle. The maxima are situated in the vicinity of the plasmon (polariton) resonances and correspond to the regions where the dissipative damping equals the radiative one. The case is similar to the recently introduced anomalous scattering [PRL vol. 97, 263902 (2006)] and exhibits similar peculiarities.

If the duration of the input pulse resonantly interacting with a system is comparable or smaller than the time required for the system to achieve the steady state, transient effects become important. For complex systems, a quantitative description of these effects may be a very difficult problem. We suggest a simple tractable model to describe these phenomena. The model is based on approximation of the actual Fourier spectrum of the system by that composed of the superposition of the spectra of uncoupled harmonic oscillators (normal modes). The physical nature of the underlying system is employed to select the proper approximation. This reduces the dynamics of the system to tractable dynamics of just a few driven oscillators. The method is simple and may be applied to many types of resonances. As an illustration, the approach is employed to describe the sharp intensive spikes observed in the recent numerical simulation of short light pulses scattered by a cylinder in the proximity of destructive Fano interference [Phys. Rev. A., vol. 100, 053824 (2019)] and exhibits excellent agreement with the numerics.
We demonstrate that 100% light absorption can take place in a single patterned sheet of doped graphene. General analysis shows that a planar array of small lossy particles exhibits full absorption under critical-coupling conditions provided the cross section of each individual particle is comparable to the area of the lattice unit-cell. Specifically, arrays of doped graphene nanodisks display full absorption when supported on a substrate under total internal reflection, and also when lying on a dielectric layer coating a metal. Our results are relevant for infrared light detectors and sources, which can be made tunable via electrostatic doping of graphene.
The review is devoted to a discussion of new (and often unexpected) aspects of the old problem of elastic light scattering by small metal particles, whose size is comparable to or smaller than the thickness of the skin layer. The main focus is put on elucidating the physical grounds for these new aspects. It is shown that, in many practically important cases, the scattering of light by such particles, despite their smallness, may have almost nothing in common with the Rayleigh one. The so-called, anomalous scattering and absorption, as well as Fano resonances, including unconventional (associated with the excitation of longitudinal electromagnetic oscillations) and directional Fano resonances, observed only in a small solid angle, are discussed in detail. The review contains a Mathematical Supplement, which includes a summary of the main results of the Mie theory and a discussion of some general properties of the scattering coefficients. In addition to purely academic interest, the phenomena considered in this review can find wide applications in biology, medicine, pharmacology, genetic engineering, imaging of ultra-small objects, ultra-high-resolution spectroscopy, information transmission, recording, and processing, and many other applications and technologies. The reported study was funded by RFBR, project number 19-11-00001 and the project of the Russian Science Foundation No. 19-72-30012, within the framework of which all the original calculations given in this publication were performed.
Appropriate combinations of laser beams can be used to trap and manipulate small particles with optical tweezers as well as to induce significant optical binding forces between particles. These interaction forces are usually strongly anisotropic depending on the interference landscape of the external fields. This is in contrast with the familiar isotropic, translationally invariant, van der Waals and, in general, Casimir-Lifshitz interactions between neutral bodies arising from random electromagnetic waves generated by equilibrium quantum and thermal fluctuations. Here we show, both theoretically and experimentally, that dispersion forces between small colloidal particles can also be induced and controlled using artificially created fluctuating light fields. Using optical tweezers as gauge, we present experimental evidence for the predicted isotropic attractive interactions between dielectric microspheres induced by laser-generated, random light fields. These light induced interactions open a path towards the control of translationally invariant interactions with tuneable strength and range in colloidal systems.
The cross section of light absorption by semiconductor quantum dots in the case of the resonance with excitons $Gamma_6 times Gamma_7$ in cubical crystals $T_d$ is calculated. It is shown that an interference of stimulating and induced electric and magnetic fields must be taken into account. The absorption section is proportional to the exciton nonradiative damping $gamma$.
