Abstract

Resonant periodic surfaces and films enable new functionalities with wide applicability in practical optical systems. Their material sparsity, ease of fabrication, and minimal interface count provide environmental and thermal stability and robustness in applications. Here, we report an experimental bandpass filter fashioned in a single patterned silicon layer on a quartz substrate. Its performance corresponds to bandpass filters requiring 15 traditional Si/SiO2 thin-film layers. The feasibility of sparse narrowband high-efficiency bandpass filters with extremely wide, flat, and low sidebands is thereby demonstrated. This class of devices is designed with rigorous solutions of Maxwell’s equations while engaging the physical principles of resonant waveguide gratings. An experimental filter presented exhibits a transmittance of 72%, bandwidth of 0.5nm, and low sidebands spanning 100nm. The proposed technology is integration-friendly and opens doors for further development in various disciplines and spectral regions where thin-film solutions are traditionally applied.
