Abstract
We report a phenomenon that an optical beam transmits in a negative direction when passing through a single array of high-refractive-index dielectric nanorods. The mechanism of the negative directional transmission is believed to be due to the symmetry of resonant modes in the dielectric nanoparticles. It is expected to find applications in designing compact optical components to achieve the on-chip beam steering in photonic circuits.
