Abstract:

Although the Mie theory was created about 120 years ago, most of the discoveries made during the last 30 years can be described on the basis of this theory (photon jet, Fano resonance, optical anapoli, optical vortices, acoustic jet). They were "encoded" in the Lorenz–Mie formulas and were just waiting for someone to decipher them. The article briefly discusses a new effect – superresonance (and the accompanying Fano resonance of an extremely high order), which describes the scattering of light by spherical particles. Superresonance could also have been discovered as early as in 1908 and its basic physics can also be explained using the Mie theory. However, this effect remained hidden inside the exact Mie solution for almost 120 years!

Keywords:

Mie theory, high-order Fano resonance, mesoscale spherical particle, mesotronics, superresonance, giant magnetic field
