Dual Control of Enhanced Quasi-Bound States in the Continuum Emission from Resonant c-Si Metasurfaces

Optical bound states in the continuum (BICs) offer strong interactions with quantum emitters and have been extensively studied for manipulating spontaneous emission, lasing, and polariton Bose-Einstein condensation. However, the out-coupling efficiency of quasi-BIC emission, crucial for practical light-emitting devices, has received less attention. Here, we report an adaptable approach for enhancing quasi-BIC emission from a resonant monocrystalline silicon (c-Si) metasurface through lattice and multipolar engineering. We identify dual-BICs originating from electric quadrupoles (EQ) and out-of-plane magnetic dipoles, with EQ quasi-BICs exhibiting concentrated near-fields near the c-Si nanodisks. The enhanced fractional radiative local density of states of EQ quasi-BICs overlaps spatially with the emitters, promoting efficient out-coupling. Furthermore, coupling the EQ quasi-BICs with Rayleigh anomalies enhances directional emission intensity, and we observe inherent opposite topological charges in the multipolarly controlled dual-BICs. These findings provide valuable insights for developing efficient nanophotonic devices based on quasi-BICs.
