Perturbation theories for symmetry-protected bound states in the continuum on two-dimensional periodic structures

Abstract

On dielectric periodic structures with a reflection symmetry in a periodic direction, there can be antisymmetric standing waves (ASWs) that are symmetry-protected bound states in the continuum (BICs). The BICs have found many applications, mainly because they give rise to resonant modes of extremely large quality-factors ($Q$-factors). The ASWs are robust to symmetric perturbations of the structure, but they become resonant modes if the perturbation is non-symmetric. The $Q$-factor of a resonant mode on a perturbed structure is typically $O(1/{\delta }^2)$ where $\delta$ is the amplitude of the perturbation, but special perturbations can produce resonant modes with larger $Q$-factors. For two-dimensional (2D) periodic structures with a 1D periodicity, we derive conditions on the perturbation profile such that the $Q$-factors are $O(1/{\delta }^4)$ or $O(1/{\delta }^6)$. For the unperturbed structure, an ASW is surrounded by resonant modes with a nonzero Bloch wave vector. For 2D periodic structures, the $Q$-factors of nearby resonant modes are typically $O(1/{\beta }^2)$, where $\beta$ is the Bloch wavenumber. We show that the $Q$-factors can be $O(1/{\beta }^6)$ if the ASW satisfies a simple condition.
