Toroidal dipole excitation of quasi-BIC and EIT: decoupled control through spatial displacement
Abstract:
Conventional geometric symmetry breaking for exciting quasi-bound states in the continuum (BICs) often induces spectral drift. Here, we propose an all-dielectric dimer metasurface that achieves orthogonal, decoupled control of quasi-BIC and electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) effects via spatial displacement. By utilizing horizontal and vertical offsets as independent degrees of freedom, we demonstrate that the radiation leakage of a toroidal-dipole-dominated first Brillouin zone (FBZ) induced quasi-BIC and the EIT bandwidth can be independently tuned while strictly maintaining resonant frequency stability. This spatial-coupling paradigm offers a robust platform for advanced multifunctional nanophotonics, including frequency-stable multi-channel sensing and slow-light devices.

Electric Dipoles and Dipole Moment
Theoretically, studying electric dipoles leads to understanding why the resultant electric forces around us are weak. Since electric forces are strong, remnant net charges are rare. Hence, the interaction between dipoles helps us understand electrical interactions in...
Magnetic Field due to Moving Charges
Consider a point charge moving with a constant velocity. Like the electric field, the magnetic field at any point is directly proportional to the magnitude of the charge and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the source point and the field point. However, unlike the electric field, the magnetic field is always perpendicular to the plane containing the line...
