Optical response induced by bound states in the continuum in arrays of dielectric spheres

Abstract

We consider optical response induced by bound states in the continuum (BICs) in arrays of dielectric spheres. By combining quasi-mode expansion technique with coupled mode theory (CMT) we put forward a theory of the optical response by high-Q resonance surrounding BICs in momentum space. The central result are analytical expressions for the CMT parameters, which can be easily calculated from the eigenfrequencies and eigenvectors of the interaction matrix of the scattering systems. The results obtained are verified in comparison against exact numerical solutions to demonstrate that the CMT approximation is capable of reproducing Fano features in the spectral vicinity of the BIC. Based on the quasi-mode expansion technique we derived the asymptotic scaling law for the CMT parameters in the vicinity of the $\Gamma$-point. It is rigorously demonstrated that the line width in the CMT approximation exhibits different asymptotic behaviour depending on the symmetry of the BIC.
