Abstract

In this paper, narrowband emitters have been designed using particle swarm optimization (PSO) in the 10–20 μm infrared range. The device structure consists of an anisotropic α-MoO3 layer combined with the one- and two-dimensional guided-mode resonance structures. Well-defined absorption lines are present in the reflection spectrum for both TE and TM polarizations, thereby yielding narrowband emissivity at desired wavelengths. The band structure of the designed emitters under TM polarization demonstrates distinct features unlike its TE counterpart. These features are attributed to the interaction between guided-mode resonances and phonon polaritons. The results are relevant for applications in active and passive photonic elements in mid- and long-wave IR bands.
