Cavity Resonator Integrated Guided mode resonance Filter : Spectral & Modal Reflector
International audience; CRIGF is a new generation of narrowband filter. It consists of subwavelength gratings nearby or upon a waveguide. At the center, a small GMRF (Guided Mode Resonance Filter) or GC (Grating Coupler) coupled radiated & guided mode, then, DBR (Distributed Bragg Reflector) at each side localise mode inside a horizontal Fabry-Pérot cavity. Two PS (Phase sections) are use to fine tune the Fabry-Pérot modes with the grating coupler.
Multimodal reflectivity of CRIGF filters: First experimental observation and modelling
International audience; Cavity Resonator Integrated Guided-mode Resonance Filter (CRIGF) are a new class of filtering reflectors whose selected wavelength and spectral width are independent of the angle of incidence unlike GMRF. These particular properties allow both compactness and a high angular acceptance. However, ours studies show that CRIGFs offer simultaneously spectral and modal filtering and we evidence high-spatial-order reflected modes. In this paper, we will present characterization of the spectral and spatial profile that demonstrates the existence of these high-order modes. In addition, we will present a model based on the physical understanding of implied phenomena to explain…

High-order modes in cavity-resonator-integrated guided-mode resonance filters (CRIGFs)
International audience; Cavity-resonator-integrated guided-mode resonance filters (CRIGFs) are optical filters based on weak coupling by a grating between a free-space propagating optical mode and a guided mode, like guided-mode resonance filters (GMRFs). As compared to GMRFs they offer narrowband reflection with small aperture and high angular acceptance. We report experimental characterization and theoretical modeling of unexpected high-order reflected modes in such devices. Using coupled-mode modeling and moiré analysis we provide physical insight on key mechanisms ruling CRIGF properties. This model could serve as a simple and efficient framework to design new reflectors with tailored s…
