Bound states in the continuum (BICs) have attracted attention in photonics owing to their
interesting properties. For example, BICs can effectively confine light in a counterintuitive …

All-dielectric metamaterials and metasurfaces have been demonstrated as ideal platforms to
manipulate electromagnetic waves and enhance light–matter interaction. Analogous to …

Recent research in topological photonics has not only proposed and realized novel
topological phenomena such as one‐way broadband propagation and robust transport of …

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 …

The introduction of bound states in the continuum (BICs) to photonics has revolutionized the
way cavity design and light–matter interactions are thought about in general. BICs can have …

Nonradiating sources of energy have traditionally been studied in quantum mechanics and
astrophysics but have received very little attention in the photonics community. This situation …

Bound states in the continuum (BICs) are waves that remain localized even though they
coexist with a continuous spectrum of radiating waves that can carry energy away. Their very …

I review the four mechanisms of bound states in the continuum (BICs) in the application of
microwave and acoustic cavities open to directional waveguides. The most simple are …

The Dirac cone underlies many unique electronic properties of graphene and topological
insulators, and its band structure—two conical bands touching at a single point—has also …

Metasurfaces based on resonant subwavelength photonic structures enable novel methods
of wavefront control and light focusing, underpinning a new generation of flat-optics devices …
