Quasi-bound states in the continuum (quasi-BIC) are a particular resonant state, which can be regulated by the degree of symmetry breaking in nanostructures. Here, we propose a fourfold rotationally symmetric (C 4v ) metasurface supporting the dual quasi-BIC modes. The Fano characteristics have observed in the near-infrared region. The resonant peaks of the dual quasi-BIC modes can be adjusted flexibly and independently with a simple breaking of the structural symmetry. More importantly, the dual quasi-BIC modes demonstrate the extraordinary capability in controlling the optical activity. This work will offer us more freedom for controlling the resonance and optical activity by the quasi-BIC modes, which is promising to engineer the optical device in displaying and optics communications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
