Demonstration of a dual-channel two-dimensional reflection grating filter

2020 
A dual-channel two-dimensional (2D) reflection grating filter operating around the 1.55 µm wavelength region is demonstrated, exhibiting dual-channel reflection peaks at 1.492 µm and 1.647 µm. The sidebands intrinsic to this kind of grating are suppressed by appropriately designed antireflective thin films, and this can be proved by equivalent medium theory. Using the modal analysis method, the excitation modes of the dual-channel reflection peaks are determined to be the TM0 (1.490 µm) and TE0 (1.638 µm) modes. The estimated relative errors in the wavelength determination of these modes are less than 1%. This is found to be in accord with analyses of the reflectivity spectra and electromagnetic fields. The dual-channel reflection peaks are sensitive to the background refractive index and may be useful in biosensing applications.
