Tunable bound states in the continuum (BICs) in photonic crystal slabs are highly sensitive to substrate-induced mirror-symmetry breaking and typically degrade into finite-$Q$ quasi-BICs in realistic integrated platforms. Here we show that…

We investigate the robustness of bound states in the continuum (BICs) in a bilayer dielectric rod array against geometric and material perturbations. Our analysis focuses on both symmetry-protected and Fabry-P\'erot BICs, examining their…

We show that the interplay between spin-orbit coupling and Zeeman splitting in atomic systems can lead to the existence of bound states in the continuum (BICs) supported by trapping potentials. Such states have energies falling well within…

On periodic structures, a bound state in the continuum (BIC) is a standing or propagating Bloch wave with a frequency in the radiation continuum. Some BICs (e.g., antisymmetric standing waves) are symmetry-protected, since they have…
