  • 具有高品质因子(Q)共振与可调谐手性响应的光学超表面是当前纳米光子学领域的研究热点,对推动手性光学器件提升具有重要意义。本研究提出了一种基于连续域束缚态(BIC)的手性锗超表面设计,通过打破C2对称性,将BIC转变为准BIC (q-BIC),从而激发支持手性响应的共振模式,并通过改变不对称参数对共振特性与手性响应实现精确调控,在近红外波段实现了超高Q因子(Q=6121.14)与强圆二色性(CD=-0.94)。此外,通过调节结构参数,可实现对手性响应的静态调控,最后,我们利用石墨烯的可调谐特性,在不改变结构参数的情况下通过调控其费米能级,实现了手性响应的动态调控。本研究为可控平面光学手性的设计提供了一种可行路径,也为手性光子器件提供了新的设计思路。

    Optical metasurfaces, with their capability to flexibly control the optical field at the subwavelength scale, have emerged as an ideal platform for achieving high-quality factor (Q-factor) resonances and tunable chiral responses, which holds significant importance for advancing chiral photonic devices. This study proposes a tunable chiral germanium metasurface based on bound states in the continuum (BIC). The structure consists of periodically arranged square germanium nanopillars with double concave grooves, situated on a reflective cavity with a Bragg mirror, which is composed of alternating stacks of Si and SiO2, forming a single-port system. First, the Q-factor and band structure near the Γ point were studied through eigenmode analysis, observing that the Q-value tends to infinity at the Γ point, exhibiting the characteristics of ideal symmetric protection BIC. By breaking the in-plane C2 symmetry, the ideal BIC is transformed into a quasi-bound states in the continuum (q-BIC), thereby exciting resonance modes that support chiral responses. The far-field polarization states at δ=0 nm, δ=20 nm, and δ=35 nm were characterized, and through the analysis of topological charges in momentum space, it was revealed that the unique topological properties of the q-BIC originate from the intrinsic resonance of the metasurface. To investigate the chiral response, the adjustment of the asymmetric parameter δ enabled the co-optimization of ultra-high Q-factor (Q=6121.14) and strong circular dichroism (CD=-0.94) responses in the near-infrared band. This demonstrates the feasibility of integrating high Q-factor and significant chirality in a single structure. Further utilization of the center spacing Δd of the double concave grooves achieved the inversion of the CD sign, providing a clear theoretical mechanism for the controllable design of chiral states. Multipole scattering power analysis reveals that the magnetic dipole plays a dominant role in the chiral q-BIC mode. In addition, by introducing a graphene layer onto the structural surface and modulating the Fermi level to alter material loss and dispersion, a significant tuning of the CD value was achieved within the range of -0.230 to -0.952 (tuning depth 0.722), thereby expanding the application potential of tunable chiral devices. This research provides a novel approach for developing high-performance, controllable chiral photonic devices. The proposed structure combines the strong field localization capability brought by high Q-factor, as well as chiral flexibility that can be achieved through geometric parameters and electrical tuning, demonstrating significant application potential in the field of chiral optoelectronic devices.
