    Abstract

    We propose a novel approach to confine light into isolated silicon nanodisk with high-quality (Q) factor electric dipole (ED) or magnetic dipole (MD) states with suppressed scattering inspired by the mechanism of the symmetryprotected bound state in the continuum (BIC). We demonstrate the efficient optical excitation of such states under structured beam illumination, which is not possible for the conventional symmetry-protected BICs in the periodic system.
