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.The authors acknowledge the funding support provided by the Australian Research Council (ARC) and UNSW Scientia Fellowship program.2enPublisher Copyright: © 2019, META Conference.
