High efficiency resonance-based spectrum filters with tunable transmission bandwidth fabricated using nanoimprint lithography

Abstract

We propose a nanostructured color filter based on a metallic resonant waveguide structure capable of extremely high transmission efficiency. As an experimental demonstration, a blue and a red device were fabricated over a large area using nanoimprint lithography. Achieving transmission as high as 90% with a variable transmission bandwidth, these devices exhibit desirable features for numerous color filter applications.
