In this work, we implement CMOS-compatible one-dimensional photonic structure based on silicon-on-insulator wafer supporting optical bound states in the continuum at telecommunication wavelengths — localized optical state with energy lying above the light line of the surrounding space. Such high-Q states are very promising for many potential applications ranging from on-chip photonics and optical communications to biological sensing and photovoltaics.
