Abstract The linear electro-optic effect offers a valuable means to control light properties via an external electric field. Lithium niobate (LN), with its high coefficients and broad optical transparency ranges, stands out as prominent material for efficient modulators. recent advent of lithium niobate-on-insulator (LNOI) wafers has sparked renewed interest in LN compact photonic devices.

Ultracompact devices for second harmonic generation (SHG) have broad applications in various fields. In this study, we numerically demonstrate efficient SHG from a merged bound state the continuum (BIC) based on lithium niobate (LN) freestanding metasurface. Such BIC efficiently reduces radiative loss and strongly enhances quality factor (Q factor). We achieved 1% conversion efficiency under ${5}^{\ensuremath{\circ}}$ incident angle with 2 $\mathrm{kW}/{\mathrm{cm}}^{2}$ input intensity,...

Alternatively, trapped mode emerges at an adjacent frequency region, which its strength grows up increasing asymmetric deviation. However, deformation inner has influence neither on evolution this nor excitation aforementioned mode. The results electromagnetic field simulation indicate that...
