Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="lpor201400178-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>A light confinement mechanism is proposed based on the photonic bound state in the continuum. In low‐refractive‐index photonic structures on a high‐refractive‐index membrane, optical dissipation to the continuum can be forbidden because of the destructive interference of various leakage channels, without the requirement of other high‐refractive‐index materials. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgh372w51zv" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
