Fano resonances and bound states in the continuum in evanescently-coupled optical waveguides and resonators

Abstract

This chapter provides a comprehensive review of some recent theoretical and experimental advances in the field of Fano resonances and bound states in the continuum for light transport in evanescently-coupled optical structures, including arrays of dielectric optical waveguides and coupled resonator optical waveguides. The review will be focused on the occurrence of Fano resonances and bound states in static photonic structures, the role of particle (photon) statistics, dynamical control of Fano resonances, and Fano resonances in non-Hermitian optical structures.
