双层交叉叠合式共振亚波长光栅

Intercross Cascaded Dual-Layer Resonant Sub-Wavelength Gratings

提出了一种防伪光栅结构-双层交叉叠合式共振亚波长光栅,其特点是可以展宽共振亚波长光栅的共振波长宽度,使得当将其应用于防伪时能得到更佳的光变效果。分析了半峰全宽展宽的原理,指出共振宽度值的大小依赖于耦合到光栅波导层内一级衍射光的能量。优化设计了此种光栅的结构参量。用矢量衍射理论对该结构的共振特性和制作工艺误差进行了研究。研究表明:这种防伪光栅的共振光谱峰值并不随着入射角的改变而降低,共振半峰全宽最大值约为同等条件下基本共振光栅结构的7倍,该结构的共振性能对光栅制作误差不是很敏感,是一种应用价值较高的防伪光栅结构。

A security grating structure, intercross cascaded dual-layer resonant sub-wavelength grating structure, is presented. It can broaden the resonant wavelength width of resonant subwavelength gratings and obtain the better optical variable effect. The full width at-half-maximum（FWHM） broadening mechanism of security grating structures is analyzed . The FWHM is dependent on the energy coupled into the grating waveguide layer. The grating structure parameters are optimized and designed. The resonance performance and grating fabrication tolerances are also studied numerically using the vector diffraction theory （the rigorous coupled wave theory）. Simulation results indicate that the value of the spectral resonant peak for the security grating structure is not decreased as the incident angle increases or decreases and the maximum FWHM of different depth of grating grooves is about seven times that of the basic resonant grating structure. The resonant dual grating waveguide structure is a kind of security grating configuration with the potential to achieve higher industry application value and its resonance performance is not sensitive to manufacture errors.
