Abstract

Metasurfaces have
transformed the landscape of nanophotonics by
enabling the precise control of light–matter interactions across
a wide spectral range. Recently, dielectric metasurfaces have garnered
significant attention due to their potential for low nonradiative
loss. In this study, we introduce a novel metasurface design that
employs biradial circular resonators to induce quasi-bound states
in the continuum (q-BIC) through minimal symmetry breaking, demonstrating
resonance with a Q factor of 650. It is predominantly
driven by the interference of the electric dipole and the magnetic
quadrupole. This approach addresses key limitations by simplifying
fabrication and enhancing robustness while delivering high tunability,
strong photonic confinement, and a 4-fold photoluminescence enhancement
experimentally. The proposed strategy not only provides a new pathway
for emission enhancement but also underscores the broader utility
of q-BIC metasurfaces in light–matter interaction. Through
a detailed analysis of the symmetry, resonance tuning, and field distribution,
we elucidate the fundamental physics underlying our design.
