Abstract
The polarization sensitivity of a nano-optical array is hypothesized to correlate with the degree of asymmetry of its individual nanostructures. This work takes a top-down approach to investigate how controlled violations of two-dimensional symmetry in regular polygon-shaped nanostructures affect the polarization sensitivity of lattice resonant, dielectric nano-arrays. Such nanoarrays dampen higher-order Mie resonances while maintaining the fundamental Mie resonance. Isolating a fundamental Mie resonance in the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum permits the mapping of a spectrum to a high-purity color. Through this, it becomes possible to build a colorimetric sensor of domains of rotations of linearly polarized light.
