High-index nanoparticle lattices have attracted a lot of interest recently as they support both optical electric and magnetic resonances and can serve as functional metasurfaces. Here we demonstrate that under particular conditions, the all-dielectric nanoparticle metasurfaces can resonantly suppress transmission. Electric and magnetic dipole resonances of silicon nanoparticle arrays are studied in the air and in the dielectric matrix in visible and near-infrared spectral ranges. We show that the wave resonantly scattered forward by the one or both electric and magnetic dipole moments of nanoparticles can destructively interfere with the incident wave, providing significant suppression of the transmission through the array. The reported effect can find important applications in different fields related to optics and photonics such as the development of filters, sensors, and solar cells.
