Bound states in the continuum based on the total internal reflection of Bloch waves

Peng Hu et al.

Summary: This article elaborates on the formation mechanisms of bound states in the continuum in a photonic-crystal slab and develops a highly efficient solver based on total internal reflections of Bloch waves. A photonic-crystal slab can support bound states in the continuum (BICs) that have infinite lifetimes but are embedded into the continuous spectrum of optical modes in free space. The formation of BICs requires a total internal reflection (TIR) condition at both interfaces between the slab and the free space. The article shows that the TIR of Bloch waves can be directly obtained based on the generalized Fresnel equations proposed. A BIC solver with low computational complexity and fast convergence speed is developed, which can also work efficiently at high frequencies beyond the diffraction limit where multiple radiation channels exist. Two examples of multi-channel BICs are shown and their topological nature in momentum space is also revealed. The concept of the generalized TIR and the TIR-based BIC solver developed offer highly effective approaches for explorations of BICs that could have many potential applications in guided-wave optics and enhanced light-matter interactions.

Nonlocal flat optics

Kunal Shastri et al.

Summary: 'Nonlocality' in electromagnetics and photonics refers to the dependence of a material or system's response/output at a certain point in space on the input field across an extended region of space. Nonlocal flat optics aims to exploit strong effective nonlocality to enhance the response of metasurfaces. This article summarizes the latest advances in this field, highlighting its fundamental principles and various applications, from optical computing to space compression. The convergence of local and nonlocal flat optics may revolutionize the control of light using ultra-thin platforms in real and momentum space.

Resonant Chiral Effects in Nonlinear Dielectric Metasurfaces

Kirill Koshelev et al.

Summary: We study the resonant enhancement of linear and nonlinear chiroptical effects in planar silicon metasurfaces with an in-plane asymmetry supporting multipolar Mie resonances and quasi-bound states in the continuum (quasi-BICs). We demonstrate theoretically and observe in experiment the pronounced linear circular dichroism at the quasi-BIC resonances originating from the interaction of modes with the substrate. We further find that both local field enhancement and third-harmonic signal are large for Mie resonances and some quasi-BIC modes due to the critical coupling.

Strongly enhanced light-matter coupling of monolayer WS2 from a bound state in the continuum

Eugenio Maggiolini et al.

Summary: In this study, strong light-matter interaction enhancement and large exciton-polariton nonlinearities at room temperature were demonstrated by combining a tungsten disulfide monolayer and a topologically protected bound state in the continuum formed by a one-dimensional photonic crystal. By optimizing for the electric-field strength at the monolayer position through Bloch surface wave confinement, a 100 meV photonic bandgap with the bound state in the continuum and a Rabi splitting of 70 meV were achieved in a fully open architecture. This architecture opens up possibilities for polariton devices based on topologically protected and highly interacting bound states in the continuum.

Hyperparametric Oscillation via Bound States in the Continuum

Fuchuan Lei et al.

Summary: Optical hyperparametric oscillation based on the third-order nonlinearity is a significant mechanism to generate coherent electromagnetic radiation and produce quantum states of light. Advances in dispersion-engineered high-Q microresonators have allowed for generating signal waves far from the pump and decreasing the oscillation power threshold. However, the efficiency and absolute power of the pump-to-signal conversion are limited by parasitic mode competition and the achievable cavity intrinsic Q to coupling Q ratio.

Universal Mirror-Stacking Approach for Constructing Topological Bound States in the Continuum

Luohong Liu et al.

Summary: We propose a simple but universal mirror-stacking approach to turn nontrivial bound states of any topological monolayer model into topological bound states with extraordinary robustness. By tuning the interlayer couplings, the topological bound state of one subspace can move into and out of the continuum of the other subspace continuously without hybridization. We construct one-dimensional first-order and two-dimensional higher-order topological bound states and demonstrate them unambiguously by acoustic experiments.

Increasing the Q-Contrast in Large Photonic Crystal Slab Resonators Using Bound-States-in-Continuum

Ming Zhou et al.

Summary: Photonic-crystal surface-emitting lasers (PCSELs) have potential for large-area single-mode lasers. However, the scaling challenge in increasing PCSEL area while preserving single-mode operation has hindered progress. This study shows that the existence of bound states in the continuum (BIC) can overcome this challenge by enabling a large and constant Q-contrast independent of crystal size. An analytical theory and full-wave simulations confirm the size-invariant Q-contrast enabled by BIC. The study also suggests increasing Q-contrast by introducing specific spatial nonuniformities, opening new possibilities for ultralarge-area PCSEL design.

Summary: When free electrons impinge on optical structures or pass nearby, they emit electromagnetic radiation called cathodoluminescence. These effects have been extensively studied in high-energy physics, but recent progress in nanophotonics has led to new applications in shaping and controlling free-electron radiation. In this review, we present a unified framework for understanding free-electron light-matter interaction and discuss experimental techniques for characterizing and controlling free-electron radiation in nanophotonic systems. We also outline future directions for this field, including ultrafast and quantum effects, tunable short-wavelength emitters, and free-electron radiation from topological states.

Magic configurations in moir? superlattice of bilayer photonic crystals: Almost-perfect flatbands and unconventional localization

Dung Xuan Nguyen et al.

Summary: In this study, the physics of photonic band structures in moire patterns formed by overlapping two unidimensional photonic crystal slabs with mismatched periods is investigated. The system's band structure is determined by the interplay between intralayer and interlayer coupling mechanisms, which can be adjusted by varying the distance between the two layers. An effective Hamiltonian is derived that accurately reproduces all numerical simulations of electromagnetic solutions. Magic distances corresponding to the emergence of photonic flatbands within the entire Brillouin zone of the moire superlattice are observed. Furthermore, a single-band tight-binding model is proposed to describe the moire minibands, with the tunneling rate tunable via the interlayer strength. The results demonstrate that the band structure of bilayer photonic moire can be engineered in a similar way to electronic/excitonic counterparts.

Extremize Optical Chiralities through Polarization Singularities

Weijin Chen et al.

Summary: Chiral optical effects are typically quantified along specific incident directions or as direction-independent properties by averaging responses among all structure orientations. However, the extremization of chirality with respect to incident directions or structure orientations has not been systematically explored. This study examines chiral responses of open photonic structures using quasinormal modes and polarization singularities, revealing the ideal maximization and minimization of optical chiralities for circular and linear polarizations, respectively, when plane waves are incident in certain directions.

PT Symmetry Induced Rings of Lasing Threshold Modes Embedded with Discrete Bound States in the Continuum

Qianju Song et al.

Summary: This study reveals that introducing PT-symmetric perturbations into a photonic crystal (PhC) slab can lead to the creation of a new type of BICs, called pt-BICs, embedded in rings of lasing threshold modes. These pt-BICs exhibit reduced Q-factor divergence rates and anisotropy in momentum space, and can even appear at off-high symmetry lines of the Brillouin zone. The research also shows that pt-BICs carry topological charges and can be created or annihilated while conserving total charge, providing insights into the interplay between PT symmetry and BICs in PhC slabs.
