Guiding-mode-assisted double-BICs in an all-dielectric metasurface
Abstract:
The electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) effect realized in a metasurface is potential for slow light applications for its extreme dispersion variation in the transparency window. Herein, we propose an all-dielectric metasurface to generate a double resonance-trapped quasi bound states in the continuum (BICs) in the form of EIT or Fano resonance through selectively exciting the guiding modes with the grating. The group delay of the EIT is effectively improved up to 2113 ps attributing to the ultrahigh Q-factor resonance carried by the resonance-trapped quasi-BIC. The coupled harmonic oscillator model and a full multipole decomposition are utilized to analyze the physical mechanism of EIT-based quasi-BIC. In addition, the BIC based on Fano and EIT resonance can simultaneously exist at different wavelengths. These findings provide a new feasible platform for slow light devices in the near-infrared region.
