Optical bound states in the continuum (BICs) exist in many photonic crystals and periodic structures with a strong resonance and ultrahigh Q factor. Such phenomena can be used in the designs of narrowband transmission filters, lasers, and sensors. In this paper, we consider the energy bands of a complex structure consisting of a grating and a multilayer substructure to obtain the position of the BIC in the structure. Hence, the higher Q factor can be obtained in the grating-multilayer structure than can be realized in the simple grating geometry. We analyze the wave propagation process in the complex structure and the change in the Q value via the use of transmission matrix theory. In addition, the reflectance spectrum is found to exhibit a series of asymmetric line-shapes with different values of the asymmetry parameter, δ, due to the interference between the two channels. One of these channels is the broadband channel, induced by the Fabry-Perot resonance, and the other channel is the narrowband channel, induced by guided mode resonance. Quasi-BICs are seen to transform into BICs as the value of δ is decreased gradually to zero. Therefore, a large Goos-Hänchen shift can be achieved as a result of the high Q factor and quasi-BIC. This work designs a complex structure with ultrahigh Q factor and strong resonance properties, which has significant implications for exploring the phenomenon of BICs.
