Abstract

Energy-momentum (dispersion) relations are a foundational framework for photonic device design, but our incomplete command thereof still limits key technologies. For instance, narrowband optical combiners for augmented reality should ideally reflect with unitary efficiency selected wavelengths that encode the artificial information over a large range of oblique incident angles, yet they are conventionally severely limited in field of view by dispersion. Here, we engineer nonlocal metasurfaces to support quasi-bound states in continuum with zero first-order resonant frequency dispersion at any desired quasi-momentum by exploiting a zone-folding technique that leverages a change in the lattice family. Our platform thereby advances photonic devices by enabling unprecedented control over the energy-momentum properties of nonlocal states, rationally controlled through a perturbation scheme that produces minimal distortion to non-resonant light.
