The applicability of the method is demonstrated on specific examples of single- and bi-layers of periodically modulated high-refractive-index spherical particles arranged on a square lattice. The results provide compelling evidence for strong and tunable inelastic scattering effects under the triple resonance condition, fulfilled for optical transitions between neighboring high-Q lattice modes of the appropriate symmetry, which originate from multipolar Mie resonances. A consistent interpretation of the underlying mechanisms is provided and potential applications in the design of nonreciprocal devices are discussed. © 2023 Wiley-VCH GmbH. ER -
