Abstract： Losses are ubiquitous and unavoidable in nature inhibiting the performance of most optical processes. Manipulating losses to adjust the dissipation of photons is analogous to braking a running car that is as important as populating photons via a gain medium. Here, we introduce the transient loss boundary into a photon populated cavity that functions as a photon brake and probe photon dynamics by engineering the brake timing and brake strength. Coupled cavity photons can be distinguished by stripping one photonic mode through controlling the loss boundary, which enables the transition from a coupled to an uncoupled state. We interpret the transient boundary as a perturbation by considering both real and imaginary parts of permittivity, and the dynamic process is modelled with a temporal two-dipole oscillator, one with the natural resonant polarization and the other with a frequency-shift polarization. The model unravels the underlying mechanism of concomitant coherent spectral oscillations and generation of tone-tuning cavity photons in the braking process. By synthesizing the temporal loss boundary into a photon populated cavity, a plethora of interesting phenomena and applications are envisioned such as the observation of quantum squeezed states, low-loss nonreciprocal waveguides and ultrafast beam scanning devices.

Abstract： In this paper, we present a novel universal coupled theory for metamaterial Bound states in the continuum (BIC) or quasi-Bound states in the continuum (quasi-BIC) which provides ultra-high Q resonance for metamaterial devices. Our theory analytically calculates the coupling of two bright modes with phase. Our method has much more accuracy for ultra-strong coupling comparing with the previous theory (the coupling of one bright mode and one dark mode). Therefore, our theory is much more suitable for BIC or quasi-BIC and we can accurately predict the transmission spectrum of metamaterial BIC or quasi-BIC for the first time.

Abstract： In this paper, we present a Bound states in the continuum (BIC) metamaterial in heterogeneous structures based on the universal coupled mode theory. We find the more general physical parameters to represent BIC, which are the resonant frequencies and corresponding phases of metamaterial structures. Therefore, BIC metamaterial comes from the equal value of the resonant frequencies and phases of metamaterial structures which are not only for homogeneous structures. Meanwhile if slightly vary one of metamaterial structure's resonant frequency and phase by varying geometry, we can obtain the quasi-BIC instead of broken symmetry of homogeneous structures. In this paper, we provide the BIC and quasi-BIC with one example of two heterogeneous structures which are cut wire (CW) and Split-Ring Resonator (SRR), to widely extends the metamaterial BIC beyond common sense. Furthermore, we demonstrate the simulation results and experimental results to proof our idea.
