Total absorption of light by a sinusoidal grating near grazing incidence.

چکیده
A heretofore unknown total absorption phenomenon on a diffraction grating has been demonstrated both theoretically and experimentally. It occurs only in a series of six special conditions, namely, groove shape, angle of incidence, groove frequency, depth modulation, polarization, and metal surface. None of the classical explanations for grating anomalous behavior seems to correspond to this case.

Total absorption of unpolarized light by crossed gratings.
We present both experimental and numerical data showing the absorption of unpolarized, normally incident light by a gold crossed grating having a shallow sinusoidal profile. We show furthermore that the total absorption of unpolarized light can be achieved for an angle of incidence of 30 degrees with a crossed grating having its period adjusted appropriately from the normal incidence case to pr...
متن کاملOptimization of the grating efficiency in grazing incidence.
A detailed numerical study of the sinusoidal and triangular groove shape grating efficiency behavior has been carried out in grazing incidence using rigorous electromagnetic theory. The optimized parameters for maximum efficiency have been found for both types of grating. The influence of the metal reflectance and the oxide layer are discussed, and some results of higher order efficiency are al...
متن کاملStrong three-dimensional field localization and enhancement on deep sinusoidal gratings with two-dimensional periodicity.
The study of total light absorption due to excitation of localized surface plasmons on deep metallic crossed gratings having a sinusoidal profile with a two-dimensional periodicity shows a very strong increase in the electric field intensity, reaching 800 times the incident intensity. The region with high intensity is strongly localized at the groove top and is characterized by a volume much sm...
متن کاملDistributed Reflector Structure and Diffraction Grating Structure in the Solar Cell
Today, due to qualitative growth and scientific advances, energy, especially electricity is increasingly needed by human society. One of the almost endless and pure energy which have been paid attention over the years is the solar energy. Solar cells directly convert solar energy into electrical energy and are one of the main blocks of photovoltaic systems. Significant improvement has been made...
متن کاملTotal absorption of light by lamellar metallic gratings.
Lamellar gratings illuminated in conical (off-plane) mounting can achieve with suitable optogeometrical parameters (grating profile, angle of incidence and wavelength) a total absorption of light for any polarization provided there is only the zeroth propagating order. A detailed analysis shows that electromagnetic resonances are involved and their nature strongly depends on the polarization. W...
