  • To analyze the diffraction properties of optical signals by periodic blazed 2D diffraction gratings, Toeplitz dielectric tensor is first defined and formulated by 2D spatial Fourier expansions associated with asymmetric blazed grating profile. The characteristic modes in each layer is then based on eigenvalue problem, and the complete solution is found rigorously in terms of modal transmission-line theory (MTLT) to address the pertinent boundary-value problems. Toeplitz matrix of symmetric and sawtooth profiles is derived from that of asymmetric blazed grating profile, and the diffraction properties for each profile are numerically simulated. The numerical results reveal that the asymmetric and symmetric profiles behave as anti-reflection GMR filter while the sawtooth profile works better as anti-transmission one rather than anti-reflection filter.

  • The polarization-selective beam splitter grating can be widely used in numerous optical information processing systems. In this paper, to design a high-efficiency plasma polarization beam splitter (PBS), the structure composed of an Ag metal layer in Littrow mounting is implemented. To achieve high diffraction efficiency in the transmitted 0th-order TE polarization and the reflected 0th-order TM polarization, the grating depth and grating ratio of presented PBS is optimized by using rigorous Modal Transmission-Line Theory. From the optimized results, PBS has advantages of wide band properties for incident wavelength and angle, and the efficiency is higher than 95% for both TE and TM polarization. Therefore, this highly efficient PBS wideband grating with high extinction ratio can be used as an excellent optical diffraction device.

  • A plane-wave incident upon asymmetric multi-layered dielectric grating as well as symmetric grating structure generates space harmonics. Selected space harmonics among those harmonics can undergo strong resonance scattering variations known as GMR(guided-mode resonance). In this paper, to clarify these effects, the field propagation and dispersion curve inside the grating region are analyzed by using a rigorous equivalent transmission-line theory(RETT) based on eigenvalue problem. The results show that, at the peak of a scattering resonance, the reflected mode is almost identical to a leaky wave that can be supported by the grating structure. Thus, it confirms to be occurred GMR effect associated with the free-resonant character of leaky waves at asymmetric multi-layered dielectric gratings. Quantitative simulation results illustrating the behavior of typical gratings are given, and the special case of normal incidence is discussed for TE and TM modes.

  • In this paper, a highly efficient GMR(guided-mode resonant) color filter is proposed and implemented. The GMR color filter consists of $Si_3N_4/air$ layers containing complementary fixed and mobile gratings. The device is designed using RETT(rigorous equivalent transmission-line theory) and a grating structure operating in subwavelength. The numerical result reveals that the color filter has a tuning capability of about 35 nm over the $0.45{\mu}m{\sim}0.55{\mu}m$ range for blue-green color and across $0.6{\mu}m{\sim}0.7{\mu}m$ range for red color. Furthermore, The color filters have a spectral bandwidth of about 8 nm with efficiencies of 99%, 98%, and 99% at the center wavelength of blue, green, and red color, respectively, and these are higher efficiencies than reported in the literature previously.
