چکیده

Subwavelength metallic gratings were proposed as integrated polarized-RGB (red, green, and blue) color filters here and their performance was further numerically optimized with the rigorous coupled-wave analysis (RCWA) method and the genetic algorithm (GA). Grating types include the single-layer type and the double-layer one while parameters to be optimized are the period, filling factor, and thickness of each layer. The ideal performance is defined both by the large extinction ratio over the visible range and by the high transmittance aiming at wavelengths of 700 nm (R), 546.1 nm (G), and 435.8 nm (B). Results showed that a double-layer grating achieves about 50% transmission efficiency and a large extinction ratio (60dB), which are better than those in previous studies. If the proposed design can integrate with popular liquid crystal display panels, a promising way can be paved to reduce the volume and cost of display electronics.

Subwavelength-structured polarization-selective surfaces

Subwavelength-period gratings exhibit a number of interesting polarization-selective properties. We investigate several such phenomena: an "inverse" wire-grid polarizer, which transmits TE light while stopping TM light, a guided-mode resonance filter with an order-of-magnitude difference in the width of the reflectance peak for the two orthogonal states of polarization, a metal-coated silicon g...

Broadband on-chip near-infrared spectroscopy based on a plasmonic grating filter array.

We demonstrate an ultra-compact, broadband on-chip near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy system based on a narrow-band plasmonic filter array. The entire filter array, consisting of 28 individual subwavelength metallic gratings, was monolithically integrated in a thin gold film on a quartz substrate, covering a 270 nm spectra from 1510 nm to 1780 nm. In order to achieve a high spectral resolution, e...

Metallic Strip Gratings in the Sub-Subwavelength Regime

Metallic strip gratings (MSG) have different applications, ranging from printed circuits to filters in microwave domains. When they are under the influence of an electromagnetic field, evanescent and/or abnormal modes appear in the region between the traces, their utilization leading to the development of new electromagnetic nondestructive evaluation methods. This paper studies the behavior of ...

One of the most interesting typ

Recent years have witnessed a growing interest, theoretically as well as experimentally, in space-variant polarization manipulation for obtaining vectorial beams. In general, vectorial beams are defined as beams having space-variant (transversely nonuniform) polarization state. In this lecture we present new methods for designing, realizing and analyzing nonuniformly polarized and partial polar...

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....
