Spatial and spectral beam shaping with space-variant guided mode resonance filters

Opt Express. 2009 Oct 26;17(22):20365-75. doi: 10.1364/OE.17.020365.

Abstract

Novel all-dielectric beam shaping elements were developed based on guided mode resonance (GMR) filters. This was achieved by spatially varying the duty cycle of a hexagonal-cell GMR filter, to locally detune from the resonant condition, which resulted in modified wavelength dependent reflection and transmission profiles, across the device aperture. This paper presents the design, fabrication, and characterization of the device and compares simulations to experimental results.
