Abstract
Due to their ultrahigh Q-factor and small mode volume, bound states in the continuum (BICs) are intriguing for the fundamental study of the strong coupling regime. However, the strong coupling generated by BICs in one metasurface is not always strong enough, which highly limits its efficiency in applications. In this work, we realize a giant strong coupling of at most 60 meV in a quasi-BICs' (Q-BICs) tetramer metasurface composed of four Si cylinders with two different sets of diagonal lengths. The Q-BICs are induced from two types of electric quadrupole (EQ), for which detuning can be flexibly controlled by manipulating the C4v symmetry breaking Δd. The giant Rabi splitting in our proposed metasurface performs more than 15 times of the previous works, which provides more possibilities for important nonlinear and quantum applications, such as nanolaser and quantum optics.
