Forward and Backward Unidirectional Scattering by the Core-Shell Nanocube Dimer with Balanced Gain and Loss

An optical nanoantenna consisting of a Au-dielectric core-shell nanocube dimer with switchable directionality was designed and described. Our theoretical model and numerical simulation showed that switching between forward and backward directions can be achieved with balanced gain and loss, using a...
