摘要

Abstract

Coupled photonic systems exhibit intriguing optical responses attracting intensive attention

but available theoretical tools either cannot reveal the underlying physics or are empirical in nature. Here

we derive a rigorous theoretical framework from first principles (i.e.

Maxwell's equations)

with all parameters directly computable via wave function integrations

to study coupled photonic systems containing multiple resonators. Benchmark calculations against Mie theory reveal the physical meanings of the parameters defined in our theory and their mutual relations. After testing our theory numerically and experimentally on a realistic plasmonic system

we show how to utilize it to freely tailor the lineshape of a coupled system

involving two plasmonic resonators exhibiting arbitrary radiative losses

particularly how to create a completely "dark" mode with vanishing radiative loss (e.g.

a bound state in continuum). All theoretical predictions are quantitatively verified by our experiments at near-infrared frequencies. Our results not only help understand the profound physics in such coupled photonic systems

but also offer a powerful tool for fast designing functional devices to meet diversified application requests.
