THz guided-mode resonance notch filter with variable filtering strength

Optically tunable guided-mode resonance filter.

We have demonstrated a guided-mode resonance filter (GMRF) whose properties are tunable with laser illumination through the incorporation of a nonlinear dye. Laser illumination causes a change in the refractive index of the dye-doped portion of the structure, leading to controlled tuning of the GMRF reflectance spectrum. Changes in the refractive index of dye-doped regions are proportional to t...

Controlling the spectral response in guided-mode resonance filter design.

Techniques for controlling spectral width are used in conjunction with thin-film techniques in the design of guided-mode resonance (GMR) filters to provide simultaneous control over line-shape symmetry, sideband levels, and spectral width. Several factors that could limit the minimum spectral width are discussed. We used interference effects for passband shaping by stacking multiple GMR filters...

Optical guided mode resonance filter on a flexible substrate.

We demonstrate the operation of a flexible optical filter based on guided mode resonances that operates in the visible regime. The filter is fabricated on a free standing polymeric membrane of 1.3 μm thickness and we show how the geometrical design parameters of the filter determine its optical properties, and how various types of filter can be made with this scheme. To highlight the versatilit...
