Design And Analysis Of Broadband Guided-Mode Resonant Reflectors With Coated Triangular And Trapezoidal Profiles In Te Polarization

A low-refractive-index grating layer with symmetrical triangular/trapezoidal grooves covered with a high-refractive-index Si layer is used to design a broadband guided-mode resonant reflector. Software Rsoft is used to simulate the reflection and transmission spectra as well as the internal electric field distribution at the resonant wavelength. It is discovered that the interaction between resonant modes promotes the formation of a wideband spectrum. The reflector has been proven to provide wideband (Delta lambda > 450 nm) and high reflectivity (R > 98.4%) spectra over a wide range of base angles from 44 degrees to 72 degrees, and the maximum high reflectivity (R > 99%) spectral range in transverse electric polarization is 458 nm, spanning 1422 to 1880nm. The results not only demonstrate excellent tolerance to the base angle and grating depth but also provide more possibilities for the design of broadband reflectors.
