Abstract
We develop a theory of refractive index tuning for symmetry-protected optical bound states (SP-BICs) in high-contrast gratings (HCGs). A compact analytical formula for tuning sensitivity is derived and verified numerically. We also discover a new type of SP-BIC in HCGs that has an accidental nature with a spectral singularity, which is explained in terms of hybridization and strong coupling among the odd- and even-symmetric waveguide-array modes. Our work elucidates the physics of tuning SP-BICs in HCGs and significantly simplifies their design and optimization for dynamic applications in light modulation, tunable filtering, and sensing.
