Shape resonances in nested diffraction gratings
نویسندگان
چکیده
The diffraction problem of a plane wave impinging on a grating formed by nested cavities is solved by means of the modal method, for s and p polarization modes. The cavities are formed by perfectly conducting sheets that describe rectangular profiles. The electromagnetic response of the grating is analyzed, paying particular attention to the generation of resonances within the structure. The dependence of the resonances on the geometrical parameters of the grating is studied, and results of far and near field are shown. The results are checked and compared with those available in the literature for certain limit cases.

Effect of finite metallic grating size on Rayleigh anomaly-surface plasmon polariton resonances.
Rayleigh anomalies (RAs) and surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) on subwavelength metallic gratings play pivotal roles in many interesting phenomena such as extraordinary optical transmission. In this work, we present a theoretical analysis of the effect of finite metallic grating size on RA-SPP resonances based on the combination of rigorous coupled wave analysis and finite aperture diffraction....
متن کاملFabrication of sawtooth diffraction gratings using nanoimprint lithography
We report a process which integrates interference lithography, nanoimprint lithography, and anisotropic etching to fabricate replicated diffraction gratings with sawtooth profiles. This new process greatly reduces grating fabrication time and cost, while preserving the groove shape and smoothness. Relief gratings with 400 nm period inverted triangular profiles and 200 nm period gratings with 7°...
متن کاملHigh-efficiency, high-dispersion diffraction gratings based on total internal reflection.
We report a new class of high-dispersion immersed diffraction gratings for which the reflective nature of the diffraction is provided by the phenomenon of total internal reflection (TIR) regardless of grating tooth shape. Thus, the component can be fabricated from a single dielectric material and requires no metallic or dielectric film layers for high reflection diffraction efficiency. With the...
متن کاملTransient Gratings in Semiconductors
The diffraction of light by a non permanent grating was first demonstrated using a grating-like structure induced by ultrasonic waves that were passed into a crystal. The invention of the laser with its extraordinary coherence then made it pos sible to use the interference between light waves to create transient gratings in various media such as solids, liquids with saturable absorption, and ...
متن کاملVolume index gratings in the intermediate and form-birefringence regimes.
We present a study of volume index gratings operating in the form-birefringence regime and what we call the intermediate regime, defined as the regime between form birefringence and the onset of diffraction. The operating regime is characterized by the ratio between the measurement wavelength and the grating period: form birefringence regime below 10, diffraction around 3, and intermediate regi...
