This study reports a novel method to excite toroidal dipole resonances with high Q factors in all-dielectric metamaterials. By tuning the structural parameters and breaking the rotational symmetry, the excitations of toroidal dipole resonances are achieved. This method is sensitive to the changes in the surrounding refractive index and can be used for monitoring aerogel samples or biochemical analytes.
Recently, the concept of bound states in the continuum (BICs) has been widely used in designing metamaterials with high quality factor resonances. In general, there are two approaches of implementing BICs in metamaterials, including tuning the structural parameters and breaking the rotational symmetry. Here, we report a significant process of exciting toroidal dipole resonances with high Q factors in all-dielectric metamaterial using both abovementioned approaches, which are realized by tuning the arc length or rotating the SRR subresonator with the respect to their central axis, respectively. The excitations of toroidal dipole resonances are confirmed by both the spatial distribution of induced electromagnetic fields and the multipole expansion of induced currents. Simulation results reveal that the excited toroidal dipole resonances are sensitive to the surrounding refractive index changes, yielding high sensitivities and large figure of merits (FoMs) simultaneously, which guarantee its potential applications as a platform of monitoring aerogel samples or biochemical analytes.
