On dielectric periodic structures with a reflection symmetry in a periodic direction, there can be antisymmetric standing waves (ASWs) that are symmetry-protected bound states in the continuum (BICs). The BICs have found many applications, mainly because they give rise to resonant modes of extremely large quality-factors ($Q$-factors). The ASWs are robust to symmetric perturbations of the structure, but they become resonant modes if the perturbation is non-symmetric. The $Q$-factor of a…
