Fourier-component engineering to control light diffraction beyond subwavelength limit

Resonant physical phenomena in planar photonic lattices, such as bound states in the continuum (BICs) and Fano resonances with 100% diffraction efficiency, have garnered significant scientific interest in recent years owing to their great ability to manipulate electromagnetic waves. In conventional...

description Resonant physical phenomena in planar photonic lattices, such as bound states in the continuum (BICs) and Fano resonances with 100% diffraction efficiency, have garnered significant scientific interest in recent years owing to their great ability to manipulate electromagnetic waves. In conventional diffraction theory, a subwavelength period is considered a prerequisite to achieving the highly efficient resonant physical phenomena. Indeed, most of the previous studies, that treat anomalous resonance effects, utilize quasiguided Bloch modes at the second stop bands open in the subwavelength region. Higher (beyond the second) stop bands open beyond the subwavelength limit have attracted little attention thus far. In principle, resonant diffraction phenomena are governed by the superposition of scattering processes, owing to higher Fourier harmonic components of periodic modulations in lattice parameters. But only some of Fourier components are dominant at band edges with Bragg conditions. Here, we present new principles of light diffraction, that enable identification of the dominant Fourier components causing multiple diffraction orders at the higher stopbands, and show that unwanted diffraction orders can be suppressed by engineering the dominant Fourier components. Based on the new diffraction principles, novel Fourier-component-engineered (FCE) metasurfaces are introduced and analyzed. It is demonstrated that these FCE metasurfaces with appropriately engineered spatial dielectric functions can exhibit BICs and highly efficient Fano resonances even beyond the subwavelength limit.
