Abstract

We study the compact localized scattering resonances of periodic and aperiodic chains of dipolar nanoparticles by combining the powerful equitable partition theorem (EPT) of a graph theory with the spectral dyadic Green’s matrix formalism for the engineering of embedded quasi-modes in non-Hermitian open scattering systems in three spatial dimensions. We provide the analytical and numerical design of the spectral properties of compact localized states in electromagnetically coupled chains and establish a connection with the distinctive behavior of bound states in the continuum. Our results extend the concept of compact localization to the scattering resonances of open systems with an arbitrary aperiodic order beyond tight-binding models, and are relevant for the efficient design of novel photonic and plasmonic metamaterial architectures for enhanced light–matter interaction.
