High-index dielectric metasurfaces have gradually become one of the most promising platforms in the field of nanophotonics due to the ease in engineering their optical behavior and their small size. Several numerical and experimental studies have been conducted in the fields of plasmonic metasurfaces and dielectric metasurfaces on in-plane symmetry-breaking nanodisk metasurfaces supporting high-Q states called "quasi-BICs", where these devices are useful for applications such as imaging and biodetection. This article studies numerically and experimentally symmetry-breaking metasurfaces made of amorphous silicon (α-Si) nanodisks in the visible-to-near-infrared range. It is reported that the angular response of the quasi-BICs for type I symmetrybreaking metasurfaces can be blue-shifted with respect to incident light tilted parallel to the axis of mirror symmetry and red-shifted when tilted perpendicular to it due to changes in the in-plane momentum. Comparatively, the angular response of the quasi-BICs of type II symmetry-breaking metasurfaces can only be redshifted due to mirror symmetries in both axis directions.
We study numerically and experimentally symmetry-breaking dielectric metasurfaces and found that the angular response of the localized magnetic dipole resonance for a 1-fold symmetry is blue-shifted, while for a 2-fold symmetry it is red-shifted.
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.
