Abstract
It is well established that for symmetry-protected bound states in the continuum (BICs), introducing the broken geometry symmetry in a dielectric metasurface transforms such a BIC into a quasi-BIC (QBIC) with high-quality factor (Q-factor). Typically, the smaller the asymmetry parameter, the larger the Q-factor. However, it is very challenging to fabricate such nanostructures with an ultra-small asymmetry parameter in the experiment due to the limitation of fabrication, thus limiting the measured Q-factor of QBIC. In this work, we demonstrated that BICs can be sustained at Γ-point in an asymmetric dielectric metasurface, where the disturbance parameter of quasi-BIC is accurately controlled in the experiment. The unit cell of the metasurface is composed of a dielectric cuboid with an off-centre hole inside it. Such a BIC can be found by moving the air-hole position in this metasurface. Multipole decompositions and near-field distributions indicate that the toroidal dipole dominates the nature of such a QBIC. Furthermore, we found that such a BIC is robust against the shape of the hole. Besides, two BICs at different wavelengths can be achieved by applying either a rectangular hole or a rectangular lattice. Finally, we presented experimental verifications of BIC types by fabricating asymmetric silicon metasurfaces. Measurement results show that the Q-factor of QBIC can reach almost 5,000. Our results may enrich the library of BICs and find exciting applications in developing high-performance photonics and optoelectronic devices, such as nanolasers, biosensors and enhanced nonlinear harmonic generation.
