Moiré photonic crystal slab

Wide-angle high-Q resonances

By aligning multiple topological polarization charges with all diffraction channels, high-Q resonances are achieved across the entire moiré flat band, with robustness against structural disorder, offering a new route for optical devices with wide-angle responses.

Advantages

High-Q resonances achieved across the entire moiré flat band

Q-factors decay slowly away from moiré BICs in momentum space

Q-factors of the moiré flat band remain high under structural disorder
