Abstract: The study of nanophotonics is centered around the interactions between light and nanostructured metallic and/or dielectric architectures (Koenderink et al, Science 348(6234):516–521, 2015). Usually associated with resonant behaviors, light at these nanostructures can be controlled in sophisticated ways not possible to achieve with materials in the bulky form. Therefore, before diving into the discussion of any nanophotonic devices and their design, it is beneficial for beginners to first establish an understanding of how light can interact with the basic building blocks of nanophotonic structures. This chapter is designated for this purpose. The two sections in the following focus on the fundamentals of plasmonics based on metallic structures and on Mie theory for dielectric nanoparticles, respectively.
