In the past decade, symmetry-protected bound states in the continuum (BICs) have proven to be an important design principle for creating and enhancing devices reliant upon states with high-quality (Q) factors, such as sensors, lasers, and those for harmonic generation. However, as we show, current implementations of symmetry-protected BICs in photonic crystal slabs can only be found at the center of the Brillouin zone and below the Bragg diffraction limit, which fundamentally restricts their use to single-frequency applications. By microprinting a three-dimensional (3D) photonic crystal structure using two-photon polymerization, we demonstrate that this limitation can be overcome by altering the radiative environment surrounding the slab to be a 3D photonic crystal. This allows for the protection of a line of BICs by embedding it in a symmetry bandgap of the crystal. This concept substantially expands the design freedom available for developing next-generation devices with high-Q states.
