@conference{10902/24087, year = {2021}, url = {http://hdl.handle.net/10902/24087}, abstract = {In this work, a novel dielectric metasurface consisting of square slotted arrays etched in a silicon layer is proposed and theoretically demonstrated. The structure is designed to support electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) based on quasi-bound states in the continuum (qBIC). Specifically, the metasurface consists of square slots with a silicon gap that breaks the symmetry of the structure. Thanks to the interaction of the sharp quasi-BIC resonances with a broadband background mode, an extremely high Q factor EIT response of 6⋅106 is demonstrated (considering the length scales feasible during fabrication and optical losses). Moreover, the resonator possesses a simple bulk geometry and subwavelength dimensions. The proposed metasurface, its high Q factors, and strong energy confinement may open new avenues of research on light-matter interactions in emerging applications in non-linear devices, lasing, biological sensors, optical communications, etc.}, organization = {This work was supported by Comunidad de Madrid and FEDER Program (S2018/NMT-4326), the Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad of Spain (TEC2016-77242-C3-1-R and TEC2016-76021-C2-2-R), the FEDER/Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades and Agencia Estatal de Investigación (RTC2017-6321-1, PID2019-107270RB-C21 and PID2019-109072RB-C31).}, publisher = {Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc.}, publisher = {IEEE Photonics Conference (IPC), Vancouver, BC, Canada-Virtual Conference, 2021}, title = {Electromagnetically induced transparency in square slotted dielectric metasurfaces supporting bound states in the continuum}, author = {Algorri Genaro, José Francisco and Dell' Olio, Francesco and Roldán Varona, Pablo and Rodríguez Cobo, Luis and López Higuera, José Miguel and Sánchez Pena, José Manuel and Zografopoulos, Dimitrios C.}, }
