Abstract
We theoretically investigate the light scattering characteristics of monolayer films composed of randomly positioned unidirectionally scattering dielectric nanoparticles that support overlapping electric and magnetic dipole modes. We show using generalized Mie theory that the optical response of both sparse and dense nanoparticle films can be understood from the scattering properties of the individual dielectric nanoparticles, despite random particle–particle coupling effects and validate these results with full-wave electromagnetic simulations. The spectral, angular, and polarization dependent reflection and transmission scattering characteristics of these random particle films are also shown to be strikingly different from those of homogeneous dense solid thin films of equivalent dielectric permittivity.
