Band Inversion Flips the Winding of Bound States in the Continuum

Paul Bouteyre, Dung Xuan Nguyen, Loïc Malgrey +10

Bound states in the continuum (BICs) in photonic slabs and metasurfaces appear as polarization singularities in momentum space, characterized by an integer winding number. This win…

Analytical non-Hermitian description of Photonic Crystals with arbitrary Lateral and Transverse symmetry

X. Letartre, S. Mazauric, S. Cueff +3

In this work we propose a general theoretical approach to the modelling of complex dispersion characteristics of leaky optical modes operating in photonic crystal slab composed of…

Magic configurations in Moiré Superlattice of Bilayer Photonic crystal: Almost-Perfect Flatbands and Unconventional Localization

Dung Xuan Nguyen, Xavier Letartre, Emmanuel Drouard +3

We investigate the physics of photonic band structures of the moiré patterns that emerged when overlapping two uni-dimensional (1D) photonic crystal slabs with mismatched periods.…

Unified Weak-to-Strong Coupling Transitions and Radiation Interference Induced by Vertical-Symmetry Breaking in Photonic Crystal Slabs

Huy Hoang Chu, Raphael Mermet-Lyaudoz, Florian Dubois +10

Vertical-symmetry breaking provides a versatile means of coupling leaky photonic-crystal resonances that are otherwise protected by opposite out-of-plane parity. Here, we develop a…

Super Bound States in the Continuum on Photonic Flatbands: Concept, Experimental Realization, and Optical Trapping Demonstration

Ngoc Duc Le, Paul Bouteyre, Ali Kheir-Aldine +7

In this work, we theoretically propose and experimentally demonstrate the formation of a super bound state in a continuum (BIC) on a photonic crystal flat band. This unique state s…

Tailoring the Local Density of Optical States and directionality of light emission by symmetry-breaking

Sébastien Cueff, Matthew Shao Ran Huang, Dongfang Li +4

We present a method to simultaneously engineer the energy-momentum dispersion and the local density of optical states. Using vertical symmetry-breaking in high-contrast gratings, w…
