Topological Nature of Optical Bound States in the Continuum

Topological Nature of Optical Bound States in the Continuum

Optical bound states in the continuum (BICs) have recently been realized in photonic crystal slabs, where the disappearance of out-of-plane radiation turns leaky resonances into guided modes with infinite lifetimes. We show that such BICs are vortex centers in the polarization directions of far-fiel...
