Since their introduction in quantum mechanics in 1929, bound states in the continuum (BICs) have garnered widespread interest across the physics community. They appear in diverse areas of wave physics, from atomic physics and water waves to acoustics and radio waves. The discovery of electromagnetic BICs in photonic structures in 2011 spurred an entirely new research direction dedicated to photonic BICs.

Photonic BICs demonstrate unique properties, such as topological features, robustness to fabrication imperfections, and significant local field enhancement. These attributes have driven advancements in filtering, biosensing, strong light-matter coupling, nonlinear optics, and the creation of laser beams with optical angular momentum. While early studies focused on theoretically perfect BICs with infinite quality factors, recent efforts have moved toward practical BICs that can be realized in experimentally feasible structures.

This focus issue invites original research and review articles on photonic BICs, aiming to advance both fundamental understanding and applications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Optical BICs and super-BICs in photonic structures of various dimensions
• Plasmonic BICs
• Polaritonic BICs
• Chiral photonics with BICs
• BICs for applications in nonlinear optics, laser generation, and biosensing
