Cuboid Resonators

Caption

The broken-symmetry metasurface of cuboid resonators shows a spectrally broad incoming light wave. (The graph on top shows a broad spectrum.) After passing through the metasurface, the beam becomes spectrally narrow due to the sharp resonances of the broken symmetry metasurface. (The graph on the bottom shows a narrow spectrum.) The swirling pattern of arrows represents the electric field distribution of light trapped in the resonators.
