Symmetry-protected bound states in the continuum on an integrated photonic platform
Abstract: Bound states in the continuum (BICs) have attracted much attention in the field of nanophotonics owing to their ability to trap photons without loss. Recently, a low-refractive-index (RI) waveguide loaded on a high-RI slab structure was demonstrated to support BICs. However, strict control of structural parameters is required due to the accidental nature of those BICs. Here, we propose a novel structure consisting of two low-RI vertically coupled waveguides loaded on a high-RI slab. This structure supports symmetry-protected BICs (SP-BICs), which do not require strict control of the geometric parameters. Such SP-BICs can also possess an infinitely high quality factor in resonant structures, which can be harnessed for ultranarrow-bandwidth spatial and spectral filters. Our work opens a new way of harnessing BICs on an integrated photonic platform for realizing nanophotonic circuits and devices.
