Abstract
Nanoimprint lithography is a powerful tool for making large area sub-wavelength scale optical devices with high-throughput fabrication. We developed a thermal nanoimprint lithography process for making sub-wavelength HCG patterns on an SOI substrate. A vertical etching profile and a smooth etched surface, which meet the requirements for Si based HCG structure, were obtained. We fabricated large area (1cm x 1cm) HCG with good uniformity in the entire sample. The clear angular dependence of the reflectivity of Si-HCG can be seen, which is in good agreement with the modeling result. The engineered angular dependence of HCG could be useful for the mode control of VCSELs and spatial mode multiplexers.
