Narrow band resonant grating of 100% reflection under normal incidence

Opt Express. 2006 Dec 25;14(26):12613-22. doi: 10.1364/oe.14.012613.

Abstract

A resonant grating mirror comprising a multilayer submirror and a grating slab waveguide submirror exhibiting constructive mutual reflection is shown experimentally to provide zero transmission. Its reflection line width of less than 1 nm, its polarization selectivity and low overall loss make the device usable as a longitudinal mode filter in a disk laser in the 1000-1100 nm wavelength range.
