High index dielectric nanoparticles have been proposed for many different applications. The multiples optical properties of such called Mie resonators allowed us to question there use as an alternative to gold. Actually, the optical resonnances, coupled with a strong nearfield can open perspective in plasmonic uses. Widespread utilization in practice also requires largescale production methods for crystalline silicon nanoparticles. We demonstrate a lowcost, and largescale fabrication method of crystalline spherical silicon colloidal Mie resonators in water, using a blender.
