Fourier modal method for perturbation analysis of bound states in the continuum

Nan Zhang, Ya Yan Lu

Bound states in the continuum (BICs) supported by periodic photonic structures are surrounded by high- resonances and serve as centers of polarization vortices in momentum space…

Structural perturbation theory for bound states in the continuum via bifurcation of zeros and extrema of the dispersion relation

Lijun Yuan, Ya Yan Lu

In a lossless periodic structure, a bound state in the continuum (BIC) corresponds to a real zero and a local maximum of the imaginary part of a complex dispersion relation $k = k(…

On the Robustness of Propagating Bound States in the Continuum

Lijun Yuan, Ya Yan Lu

Bound states in the continuum (BICs) are localized eigenmodes with their frequencies in the radiation continuum of scattering states. The existence of a BIC implies the loss of uni…

Local Robustness of Bound States in the Continuum through Scattering-Matrix Eigenvector Continuation

Ya Yan Lu, Jiaxin Zhou

We consider the diffraction of time-harmonic plane waves by a periodic structure, governed by the Helmholtz equation. Bound states in the continuum (BICs) are quasi-periodic fields…

Parametric dependence of unidirectional guided resonances in periodic structures

Lijun Yuan, Ya Yan Lu

Unidirectional guided resonances (UGRs) in periodic structures are special resonant modes that exhibit strict one-sided radiation, even though radiation in both sides is allowed, o…

An efficient method for calculating resonant modes in biperiodic photonic structures

Nan Zhang, Ya Yan Lu

Many photonic devices, such as photonic crystal slabs, cross gratings, and periodic metasurfaces, are biperiodic structures with two independent periodic directions, and are sandwi…
