Photonic crystal (PhC) supports Bloch resonances that confine electromagnetic energy within the subwavelength thickness and enable polarization modulation through their intrinsic mode states. If a PhC generates chiral resonances, then it can selectively enhance or suppress specific circular polarizations, making it ideal for chiral optics. Here, we devise a design strategy to realize chiral resonant modes with large angular divergence and tunable quality factors ( factors) by introducing planar structural perturbations. The factor exhibits an inverse-square dependence on perturbation strength, consistent with the behavior of quasi-bound states in the continuum. Theoretical and experimental results demonstrate chiral modes with high circular dichroism, large separation angles, and high- factors. We further couple 2D excitons to these resonant modes, achieving spatially separated chiral emission. Using Brillouin zone folding, we translate bound modes at high-symmetry points into the radiative region, suggesting a strategy to control polarization, group velocity, and topology in photonic systems.
光子晶体(PhC)支持布洛赫共振,这种共振将电磁能量限制在亚波长厚度内,并通过其固有模式状态实现偏振调制。如果光子晶体产生手性共振,那么它可以选择性地增强或抑制特定的圆偏振,使其成为手性光学的理想选择。在这里,我们设计了一种设计策略,通过引入平面结构微扰来实现具有大角度发散和可调品质因数(Q因子)的手性共振模式。Q因子表现出与微扰强度的平方反比关系,这与连续统中的准束缚态行为一致。理论和实验结果证明了具有高圆二色性、大分离角和高Q因子的手性模式。我们进一步将二维激子耦合到这些共振模式,实现了空间分离的手性发射。利用布里渊区折叠,我们将高对称点处的束缚模式转换到辐射区域,这为控制光子系统中的偏振、群速度和拓扑结构提供了一种策略。
