文摘We have theoretically simulated the optical properties of perturbed chiral STF （sculptured thin film） with and without defect. It was revealed that such STFs could act as band-reject filters with tunable Bragg regime of free space wavelengths and different bandwidth through changing the vapor incident angle during glancing angle deposition process. These Bragg filters are narrowing due to the change of vapor incident angle for circularly polarized light. Interestingly, as the vapor incident angle increased, the band-rejected filter exhibited to decrease the bandwidth and shifted in the Bragg regime, indicating that such STF nanostructures have high potential for behaving as unique polarization insensitive Bragg mirror.
