Bound states in the continuum (BICs) have attracted broad research interest owing to their excellent performance in light confinement, which can boost light-matter interaction. BICs can eliminate the radiation loss to theoretically achieve an infinity quality factor Q. However, in practical on-chip resonators, there are inevitable fabrication imperfections that couple BICs to nearby radiative states by scattering, thus limiting the available Q.
