Systems and methods according to present principles provide, at room temperature, a bound state in the continuum laser that harnesses optical modes residing in the radiation continuum but nonetheless may possess arbitrarily high quality factors. These counterintuitive cavities are based on resonantly trapped symmetry-compatible modes that destructively interfere. Such systems and methods may be applied towards coherent sources with intriguing topological properties for optical trapping, biological imaging, and quantum communication.

System and method for bound state in continuum laser sources

Systems and methods according to present principles provide ways to construct and use tunable exceptional point (EP) singularities in three-dimensional plasmonic nanostructures. Such structures have applications in sensing, communication, imaging, and other fields where, e.g., determining sub wavelength features of interest is of value.
