Excellent polarization-independent reflector based on guided mode resonance effect

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/20/10/104210

Abstract A broad band polarization-independent reflector working in the telecommunication C+L band is proposed using the guided mode resonance effect of a periodic surface relief element deposited by a layer of silicon medium. It is shown that this structure can provide high reflection (R>99.5%) and wide angular bandwidth (θ ≈20°, R>98%) for both TE and TM polarizations over a wide spectrum band 1.5 μm～1.6 μm. Furthermore, it is found by rigorous coupled wave analysis that the polarization-independent reflector proposed here is tolerant of a deviation of grating thickness, which makes it very easy to fabricate in experiments.
