Tunable guided-mode resonance filter based on dielectric elastomer actuators

A tunable guided-mode resonant (GMR) reflection filter based on dielectric elastomer actuators (DEA) is designed. Simulating the characteristics of the filter with rigorous coupled wave analysis, it is shown that the resonant wavelength of the kind of GMR filter can be tuned from 1442.8 nm to 1644.6 nm by applying voltage on the dielectric elastomer actuators which changes the period of the grating layer of the GMR filter conveniently. Furthermore, there is an almost perfect linear relationship of resonant wavelength tuned and the period varied with negligible effect on the linewidth.

Guided-Wave Two-Dimensional Acousto-Optic Scanner Using Proton-Exchanged Lithium Niobate Waveguide

Two-dimensional scanning of a 0.6328 mum guided-light beam has been realized using noncolinear acousto-optic (AO) coplanar Bragg diffraction together with colinear AO guided-mode to substrate radiation-mode conversion in a Z-cut Xpropagation LiNbO3 proton-exchanged (PE) waveguide. The two surface acoustic (SAW) waves utilized are at the center frequencies of 500 and 200 MHz, propagating in the Y and X axes, respectively. Two-dimensional scanning of approximately 720 resolvable light beam spots, namely, 18 40 (horizontal vertical) scanning, has been demonstrated using a light beam of 1.0 mm aperture. The total number of resolvable beam spots can be greatly increased from 720 by simply utilizing SAW transducers of larger bandwidth and a light beam of greater aperture. It should also be possible to significantly increase the diffraction efficiency from 3 % by optimizing the parameters of the PE waveguide and the SAWs.

High-performance refractive index sensor based on guided-mode resonance in all-dielectric nano-silt array

We propose a high-quality refractive index sensing by utilizing the characteristic guided-mode resonance (GMR) excited in a simple one-dimensional all-dielectric nano-slit array. We demonstrate a figure of merit up to 12000, which is higher than that achieved in most plasmonic refractive index sensors. We show that high-quality sensing performance can be sustained over a broadband range in near infrared region with relatively large variations in both grating depth and angle of incidence. Such a GMR-based all-dielectric sensing device with the ease of fabrication is expected to hold great promise for realizing broadband refractive index sensors with high performance and compactness.

Transmission guided-mode resonance filters based on high reflection multilayer stacks

The transmission guided-mode resonance filters are implemented by integration of diffraction grating into classical thin films to produce high efficiency in the central wavelength and arbitrarily low sideband response over a quite large spectral range. Transmission guided-mode resonance filters require considerable fewer thin films to acquire narrow line width and high peak transmission in the central wavelength compared with classical multilayer high-reflectance coatings with a stack of quarter-wave thickness. The properties of transmission filters with single/double waveguide grating in the different layers of high refection stacks are compared each other. It is demonstrated that the narrow line width transmission filters can be abstained with only two different materials.     

Numerical analysis of a dual-wave band guided-mode resonance filter with embedded bilayer asymmetric metallic gratings

In this paper, a novel guided-mode resonances (GMRs) based embedded dual-wavelength filter, which had the bilayer gratings located at the two sides of dielectric substrate and arranged at asymmetric position, was investigated and studied theoretically. As compared to symmetric structures that usually provided single wavelength of transmission resonance, as one normal incidence was used for transverse magnetic polarized light, the designed asymmetric structure could generate two remarkable narrow band wavelengths of transmission resonance. The parameters to affect the resonance wavelengths and the transmission resonance Q value (Q = λ/Δλ) of two bands were the distance between the two metallic gratings, the relatively lateral positions of the upper and lower gratings, the number of structure period, the thicknesses of metallic gratings, and the thickness of dielectric film. By optimizing the designed parameters, a GMR device with two resonance wavelengths located at 1239 and 1302 nm showed relative optimal performance because they had high transmission depth (99.9% and 90%) and ultra-narrow transmission bandwidth (2.8 and 1.8 nm) at the two resonance wavelengths. The presented structure can offer a potential route towards dual-band narrow-band filters and refractive index sensors in the near infrared.
