Chirality-locked low-dimensional bound states in the continuum lasers
Nature · By Heegeun Kim ·
The Brief
- Nature Communications published a paper on chirality-locked low-dimensional bound-state-in-the-continuum lasers on 14 November 2026.
- The authors report localized bound-state-in-the-continuum lasers at one-dimensional interfaces and zero-dimensional structures.
- Bound states in the continuum are described by the authors as intrinsically delocalized, which the work aims to overcome.
Why it matters
The work demonstrates lasing in localized modes at reduced dimensions, which may matter for researchers designing compact photonic laser sources.
