The ability to dynamically modulate plasmon resonances or Mie resonances is crucial for practical application. Electrical tuning as one of the most efficiently active tuning methods has high switching speed and large modulation depth. Silicon as a typical high refractive index dielectric material can generate strong Mie resonances, which have shown comparable performances with plasmonic nanostructures in spectral tailoring and phase modulation. However, it is still unclear whether the optical response of single silicon nanoantenna can be electrically controlled effectively. In this chapter, we introduce two types of optoelectronic devices based on Mie resonances in silicon nanoantennas. First, we observe obvious blueshift and intensity attenuation of the plasmon-dielectric hybrid resonant peaks when applying bias voltages. Second, photoluminescence (PL) enhancement and modulation are achieved together in the WS2-Mie resonator hybrid system.
