Design, manufacturing, and performance analysis of mid-infrared achromatic half-wave plates with diamond subwavelength gratings.
In this paper, we present a solution for creating robust monolithic achromatic half-wave plates (HWPs) for the infrared, based on the form birefringence of subwavelength gratings (SWGs) made out of diamond. We use the rigorous coupled wave analysis to design the gratings. Our analysis shows that diamond, besides its outstanding physical and mechanical properties, is a suitable substrate to manu...
متن کاملBroadband infrared meanderline reflective quarter-wave plate.
We present a novel reflective quarter-wave plate comprised of subwavelength meanderline elements. The device is operational over the long-wave infrared (LWIR) spectrum, with significant spectral and angular bandwidths. Power reflection is approximately 70% over the majority of the LWIR. Efficient conversion from a 45° linear polarization state into circular polarization is demonstrated from fin...
متن کاملMillimeter-Wave Beamforming: Antenna Array Design Choices & Characterization
This white paper introduces some of the fundamental theory behind beamforming antennas. In addition to these basic concepts, calculation methods for radiation patterns and a number of simulations results, as well as some real world measurement results for small linear arrays are shown. Due to the bandwidths likely to be employed in such applications, a non-standard way of graphical representati...
متن کاملTilted bilayer membranes as simple transmission quarter-wave retardation plates.
A tilted bilayer membrane, which consists of two thin films of transparent optically isotropic materials of different refractive indices, can function as a transmission quarter-wave retarder (QWR) at a high angle of incidence. A specific design using a cryolite-Si membrane in the infrared is presented, and its tolerances to small shifts of wavelength, incidence angle, and film thickness errors ...
متن کاملIntegratable quarter-wave plates enable one-way angular momentum conversion
Nanophotonic waveguides are the building blocks of integrated photonics. To date, while quarter-wave plates (QWPs) are widely used as common components for a wide range of applications in free space, there are almost no reports of Integratable QWPs being able to manipulate the angular momentum (AM) of photons inside nanophotonic waveguides. Here, we demonstrate two kinds of Integratable QWPs re...
