Abstract

Anapole resonances in high-index dielectric nanoparticles arise from the destructive interference between electric and toroidal dipole moments. So far, this mode interference has been solely observed using normal incidence free-space radiation. Here we show that anapole resonances can also arise in silicon disks being excited by an in-plane oriented waveguide. We provide both far-field and near-field measurements at telecom wavelengths which, in good agreement with numerical simulations, show the expected signatures of an anapole resonance. This work paves the way towards the use of the anapole resonances in on-chip silicon photonics.
