The resonant transmission of two near-field coupled, cascaded band-pass filters, based on metallic stripe or patch gratings, is analysed. The response, in terms both of maximum efficiency and light rejection out of the resonance, overpasses the simple convolution of the responses of two isolated filters, while keeping good angular tolerance. Illustrations are given in the infrared range where sizing and technological integration of such compact structures are particularly relevant for detection applications.

The spectral dependence of a bending loss of cascaded 60-degree bends in photonic crystal (PhC) waveguides is explored in a slab-type silicon-on-insulator system. Ultra-low bending loss of (0.05+/-0.03)dB/bend is measured at wavelengths corresponding
to the nearly dispersionless transmission regime. In contrast, the PhC bend is found to become completely opaque for wavelengths range corresponding to the slow light regime. A general strategy is presented and experimentally verified to optimize the bend design for improved slow light transmission.
We present a novel theoretical approach for modeling the resonant properties of transmission through subwavelength apertures penetrating metal films. We show that cavity mode theory applies to an effective resonant cavity whose dimensions are determi
ned by the apertures geometry and the evanescent decay lengths of the associated diffracted waves. This method suggests a concrete physical mechanism for the enhanced transmission observed in periodic aperture arrays, namely it is the evanescently scattered light, localized in the near field of metal surface, which couples into the apertures. Furthermore, it analytically predicts the frequencies of peaks in enhanced transmission, the quality factor of the peaks, and explains their dependence on variation in the hole radius, periodicity, and the film thickness over a wide range of geometries. This model demonstrates strong correlation to simulation and existing results with a high degree of accuracy.
Sheets of slab waveguides with sharp corners are investigated. By means of rigorous numerical experiments, we look at oblique incidence of semi-guided plane waves. Radiation losses vanish beyond a certain critical angle of incidence. One can thus rea
lize lossless propagation through 90-degree corner configurations, where the remaining guided waves are still subject to pronounced reflection and polarization conversion. A system of two corners can be viewed as a structure akin to a Fabry-Perot-interferometer. By adjusting the distance between the two partial reflectors, here the 90-degree corners, one identifies step-like configurations that transmit the semi-guided plane waves without radiation losses, and virtually without reflections. Simulations of semi-guided beams with in-plane wide Gaussian profiles show that the effect survives in a true 3-D framework.
Abstract: An induced-transmission filter (ITF) uses an ultrathin layer of metal positioned at an electric-field node within a dielectric thin-film bandpass filter to select one transmission band while suppressing other transmission bands that would h
ave been present without the metal layer. Here, we introduce a switchable mid-infrared ITF where the metal film can be switched on and off, enabling the modulation of the filter response from single-band to multiband. The switching is enabled by a deeply subwavelength film of vanadium dioxide (VO2), which undergoes a reversible insulator-to-metal phase transition. We designed and experimentally demonstrated an ITF that can switch between two states: one broad passband across the long-wave infrared (LWIR, 8 - 12 um) and one narrow passband at ~8.8 um. Our work generalizes the ITF -- previously a niche type of bandpass filter -- into a new class of tunable devices. Furthermore, our unique fabrication process -- which begins with thin-film VO2 on a suspended membrane -- enables the integration of VO2 into any thin-film assembly that is compatible with physical vapor deposition (PVD) processes, and is thus a new platform for realizing tunable thin-film filters.
We consider design optimization of passively mode-locked two-section semiconductor lasers that incorporate intracavity grating spectral filters. Our goal is to develop a method for finding the optimal wavelength location for the filter in order to ma
ximize the region of stable mode-locking as a function of drive current and reverse bias in the absorber section. In order to account for material dispersion in the two sections of the laser, we use analytic approximations for the gain and absorption as a function of carrier density and frequency. Fits to measured gain and absorption curves then provide inputs for numerical simulations based on a large signal accurate delay-differential model of the mode-locked laser. We show how a unique set of model parameters for each value of the drive current and reverse bias voltage can be selected based on the variation of the net gain along branches of steady-state solutions of the model. We demonstrate the validity of this approach by demonstrating qualitative agreement between numerical simulations and the measured current-voltage phase-space of a two-section Fabry-Perot laser. We then show how to adapt this method to determine an optimum location for the spectral filter in a notional device with the same material composition, based on the targeted locking range, and accounting for the modal selectivity of the filter.
