    Abstract

    We uncover a novel mechanism of superscattering from subwavelength resonators linked to the physics of bound states in the continuum (BICs). Enhanced scattering occurs due to constructive interference within the Friedrich-Wintgen mechanism of interfering resonances. Through this process, the scattering cross section of a single resonance can exceed the currently established limit. We develop a general non-Hermitian model to describe interfering resonances of quasi-normal modes, and study subwavelength dielectric nonspherical resonators exhibiting avoided crossing resonances and quasi-BIC states. Our results reveal novel physics of non-Hermitian systems suggesting important applications for metadevices.
