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 a striking example of how a solution to a simple
problem of quantum mechanics, obtained about a century ago, can serve as an incentive to …

We reveal that metasurfaces created by seemingly different lattices of (dielectric or metallic)
meta-atoms with broken in-plane symmetry can support sharp high-Q resonances arising …

Symmetry-protected bound states in the continuum (BICs) are nonradiative states with
infinite lifetime and perfect confinement of energy even though lying in the radiation …

Metamaterial analogues of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) have been
intensively studied and widely employed for slow light and enhanced nonlinear effects. In …

Bound state in the continuum (BIC) is a mathematical concept with an infinite radiative
quality factor (Q) that exists only in an ideal infinite array of resonators. In photonics, it is …

High quality factor resonances are extremely promising for designing ultra-sensitive
refractive index label-free sensors, since it allows intense interaction between …

In the present work, we demonstrate controlling the excitation of bright mode (continuum
mode) resonance and dark mode (discrete mode) resonance in a planar metasurface made …

Planar metasurfaces and plasmonic resonators have shown great promise for sensing
applications across the electromagnetic domain ranging from the microwaves to the optical …

Recently reported metamaterial analogues of electromagnetically induced transparency
enable a unique route to endow classical optical structures with aspects of quantum optical …
