▎ 摘  要

Enhanced light-matter interaction of a local field is of prime importance in optics as it can improve the performance of nanophotonic devices. Such enhancement can be achieved by utilizing the optical bound states in the continuum (BICs). In this study, a dielectric metasurface is proposed that could enhance the light-matter interactions in graphene. A symmetry-protected BIC was observed in such a metasurface, which could transform into a quasi-BIC with a high quality (Q-) factor when the in-plane symmetry is broken. As the graphene monolayer was introduced into the system, its absorption was enhanced by the quasi-BIC resonance. By optimizing the graphene Fermi energy and the asymmetry parameter of the metasurface to satisfy the critical-coupling condition, a tunable absorber could be achieved. The absorbing intensity could be efficiently modulated by varying the polarization direction of the incident light, the maximum difference of which was up to 95.4%. Also, further investigation showed that such a feature indicates potential application in digital switches and image displays, which could be switched by incident polarization only, and therefore without dependence on an additional structural change.
