Abstract
In recent years, resonant structures with quasi-bound states in the continuum (quasi-BICs) have significantly expanded the practical possibilities in optics and nanophotonics. A similar mode, the so-called supercavity mode, observed in single dielectric cylinders with high permittivity and low material losses, allows achieving extremely high quality (Q) factors. Resonators supporting quasi-BICs are also promising for applications in the radio frequency range. However, creating compact structures using high-permittivity materials at frequencies below 300 MHz is challenging. This study introduces a subwavelength (∼λ/13) volumetric structure composed of two arrays of coupled split ring resonators, with one array located inside the other, which provides a supercavity mode. The numerical Q factor of this mode is increased by approximately 100 times under lossless conditions and by about 1.5 times when accounting for material losses compared to that of non-interacting modes of the two arrays. The Q factor enhancement is confirmed experimentally by near-field measurements. The advantages of the proposed resonator include its hollow cavity, ease of fabrication, and frequency tunability within the radio frequency range.
期刊介绍:
Applied Physics Letters (APL) features concise, up-to-date reports on significant new findings in applied physics. Emphasizing rapid dissemination of key data and new physical insights, APL offers prompt publication of new experimental and theoretical papers reporting applications of physics phenomena to all branches of science, engineering, and modern technology.
In addition to regular articles, the journal also publishes invited Fast Track, Perspectives, and in-depth Editorials which report on cutting-edge areas in applied physics.
APL Perspectives are forward-looking invited letters which highlight recent developments or discoveries. Emphasis is placed on very recent developments, potentially disruptive technologies, open questions and possible solutions. They also include a mini-roadmap detailing where the community should direct efforts in order for the phenomena to be viable for application and the challenges associated with meeting that performance threshold. Perspectives are characterized by personal viewpoints and opinions of recognized experts in the field.
Fast Track articles are invited original research articles that report results that are particularly novel and important or provide a significant advancement in an emerging field. Because of the urgency and scientific importance of the work, the peer review process is accelerated. If, during the review process, it becomes apparent that the paper does not meet the Fast Track criterion, it is returned to a normal track.
