From theoretical model to experimental realization, the bound state in the continuum (BIC) is
an emerging area of research interest in the last decade. In the initial years, well-established …

Optical bound states in the continuum (BICs) have recently stimulated a research boom,
accompanied by demonstrations of abundant exotic phenomena and applications. With …

We introduce the refractiveindex. info database, a comprehensive open-source repository
containing optical constants for a wide array of materials, and describe in detail the …

Enhancing light–matter interaction is a key requisite in the realm of optical sensors. Bound
states in the continuum (BICs), possessing high quality factors (Q factors), have shown great …

Based on the selective excitations of the forward and backward propagating resonant
guided modes, we achieve dual bound states in the continuum (dual BICs) in a compound …

Photocatalytic platforms based on ultrathin reactive materials facilitate carrier transport and
extraction but are typically restricted to a narrow set of materials and spectral operating …

In this work, we propose and numerically investigate a two-dimensional microlaser based on
the concept of bound states in the continuum (BIC). The device consists of a thin gain layer …

In the field of modern optics, the capability of localizing light at the nanoscale is crucial.
Recently, the concept of the bound state in the continuum (BIC) has emerged, demonstrating …

Bound states in continuum (BICs) are believed to have the ability to achieve high quality
factor (Q factor) resonances, which is very important for plasmonics. However, the study of …

The concept of symmetry-protected bound states in the continuum (BICs) offers a simple
approach to engineer metasurfaces with high-quality (Q) factors. However, traditional …
