Localized states universally appear when a periodic potential is perturbed by defects or terminated at its surface. In this Letter, we theoretically and experimentally demonstrate a mechanism that generates localized states through…
Flat band systems are usually associated to compact localized states (CLSs) resulting from the macroscopic degeneracy of eigenstates at the flat band energy. In case of singular flat bands, these conventional localized flat band states have…

Noncontractible loop states (NLSs) are recently realized topological entity in flatband lattices, arising typically from band touching at a point where a flat band intersects one or more dispersive bands. There exists also band touching…
Dispersionless bands -- \emph{flatbands} -- provide an excellent testbed for novel physical phases due to the fine-tuned character of flatband tight-binding Hamiltonians. The accompanying macroscopic degeneracy makes any perturbation…

Fano resonances appear in quantum mechanical as well as classical systems as a result of the interference between two paths: one involving a discrete resonance and the other a continuum. Compared to a conventional resonance, characterized…

When propagating through periodically structured media, i. e. photonic crystals, optical waves will be modulated with the periodicity. As a result, the dispersion of waves will no longer behave as in a free space, and so called frequency…
We report on singular and nonsingular flat bands in a Sierpinski fractal-like photonic lattice. We demonstrate that the the lowest two bands, being isolated and degenerate due to geometrical frustration, are nonsingular and thus can be…
