Abstract

We demonstrate the existence of tunable bound states in the continuum (BICs) in a one-dimensional quantum wire with two impurities induced by an intense monochromatic radiation field. We find that there is an interesting type of BIC due to the Fano interference between two optical transition channels, in addition to the ordinary BIC due to geometrical interference between electron wave functions emitted by impurities. In both cases the BIC can be achieved by tuning the frequency of the radiation field. Evidence of the BIC can be obtained by observing the absorption rate of a probe photon.
