Abstract
C points, circular polarization in momentum space, play crucial roles in chiral wave manipulations. However, conventional approaches of achieving intrinsic C points using photonic crystals with broken symmetries suffer from a low Q factor and high sensitivity to structural geometry, rendering them fragile and susceptible to perturbations and disorders. We report magneto-optical (MO) bound states in the continuum (BICs) with a symmetry-preserved planar photonic crystal. We achieve intrinsic C points at Γ point that are robust against variation in both structural geometry and external magnetic field. MO coupling between two modes induces Zeeman splitting, leading to MO BICs and quasi-BICs with circular eigenstates for high-Q chiral responses. Furthermore, switchable C point handedness and circular dichroism are enabled by reversing the magnetic field. These findings unveil BICs and quasi-BICs with circular eigenstates and on-demand control of C points, paving the way for advanced chiral wave manipulation with enhanced light-matter interaction.
C 点是动量空间中的圆偏振,在手性波操纵中发挥着至关重要的作用。然而,利用对称性被破坏的光子晶体实现本征 C 点的传统方法存在 Q 值系数低和对结构几何高度敏感的问题,这使得它们非常脆弱,容易受到扰动和紊乱的影响。我们利用对称性保留的平面光子晶体报告了连续体中的磁光(MO)束缚态(BICs)。我们在 Γ 点实现了本征 C 点,它对结构几何和外部磁场的变化都很稳定。两种模式之间的 MO 耦合会诱发泽曼分裂,从而产生 MO BIC 和准 BIC,并具有高 Q 手性响应的圆形特征态。此外,通过反转磁场还能实现可切换的 C 点手性和圆二色性。这些发现揭示了具有圆特征状态和按需控制 C 点的 BIC 和准 BIC,为增强光-物质相互作用的先进手性波操纵铺平了道路。
