Abstract
It is desirable to obtain high efficiency with polarization-independence and wideband properties for incident wavelength. A metal-mirror-based grating is presented to diffract the incident wave into reflection orders with high efficiency for TE and TM polarization. The modal method and rigorous coupled-wave analysis (RCWA) are used together to optimize a metal-mirror-based grating effectively. From the analysis of the modal method, it is feasible to realize such a grating with the prescribed grating duty cycle and period. Accurate parameters of the grating depth and thickness of the connecting layer are optimized using RCWA. Compared with the reported binary simple grating, high efficiency can be improved greatly for the incident wavelength of 1550nm in dense wavelength division multiplexing. The diffraction investigation indicates that a wideband property for incident wavelength can be obtained for such a novel metal-mirror-based grating.
