“…Gobulenko and Avrutsky observed the same resonances using a thin deposited ZnO‐corrugated waveguide, achieving much narrower reflection wavelength band in zero‐order configuration, thanks to a much lower refractive index contrast of the waveguide. After having studied the first diffracted order resonant anomalies of a multiple dielectric layer coated aluminum diffraction grating, Mashev and Popov demonstrated experimentally similar results with a corrugated waveguide manufactured by ions exchanged from molten AgNO 3 . Avrutsky, Golubenko, and their colleagues computed the zeroth‐order reflection and transmission behavior of RWGs and demonstrated their usefulness to stabilize laser emission …”

Resonant waveguide gratings (RWGs), also known as guided mode resonant (GMR) gratings or waveguide‐mode resonant gratings, are dielectric structures where these resonant diffractive elements benefit from lateral leaky guided modes from UV to microwave frequencies in many different configurations. A broad range of optical effects are obtained using RWGs such as waveguide coupling, filtering, focusing, field enhancement and nonlinear effects, magneto‐optical Kerr effect, or electromagnetically induced transparency. Thanks to their high degree of optical tunability (wavelength, phase, polarization, intensity) and the variety of fabrication processes and materials available, RWGs have been implemented in a broad scope of applications in research and industry: refractive index and fluorescence biosensors, solar cells and photodetectors, signal processing, polarizers and wave plates, spectrometers, active tunable filters, mirrors for lasers and optical security features. The aim of this review is to discuss the latest developments in the field including numerical modeling, manufacturing, the physics, and applications of RWGs. Scientists and engineers interested in using RWGs for their application will also find links to the standard tools and references in modeling and fabrication according to their needs.

“…In 1965, Hessel et al, using rigorous diffraction theory, introduced the concept of resonance anomalies due to the coupling between a propagating mode with a surface or guided wave [3]. The first experimental demonstration of guided mode resonances in dielectric gratings was reported by Mashev and Popov [4] and their first practical applications have been proposed by Magnusson et al [5,6]. The observation of guided mode resonances in 1D and 2D PCM have been reported [7] and the specific properties of these high index contrast gratings have been analysed in [8].…”

It is emphasized that two dimensional Photonic Crystals (2D PC) have not only a great potential for integrated Nanophotonics in the waveguided configuration, but that they may also open the way to other brilliant developments, with an extension to out of plane operation.In the latter case, the basic building block is a 1D or 2D Photonic Crystal Membrane (PCM) where only the Bloch modes above the light line are considered. Conceptual approaches used to analyse optical properties of surface addressable Photonic Crystal Membrane (PCM) resonators will be presented from which design rules will be deduced and illustrated on some photonic devices. INTRODUCTIONDuring the last decades, Photonic Crystals have played a fast growing role in nanophotonics. This success relies in their ability to harness the light at the wavelength scale leading to a spatial and spectral control of photons. In practice the fabrication of 3D PhCs is very difficult, and most of the developments have concerned the production of 1D and 2D PhCs formed in wave-guiding dielectric slabs as they can be fabricated using conventional planar technological approaches. The resulting structures are called Photonic Crystal Membrane (PCM) where the light can be "index guided" in the vertical direction. The spectro-spatial trajectory of this guided modes are then controlled through a high contrast 1D or 2D periodic modulation of the optical index. In most of the reported works, the PCM is meant to operate in this waveguiding regime, which gave rise to numerous demonstrations like strongly confining resonators (high Q/V), slow light and superprism phenomena…In this paper, we will concentrate on most recent developments where PCM are used to control photons not only in the waveguiding configuration but also in the free space regime. In this case, the PCM can be view as a high index contrast grating (HCG) which enables the coupling between in plane waveguided and out of plane free space modes, leading to an efficient 3D harnessing of light. In 1902, Wood has reported on the observation of strong intensity variations (Wood anomalies) in the spectrum of an optical beam diffracted by a diffraction grating [1]. This has been interpreted by Rayleigh in 1907 as resulting to the conversion of a propagating diffraction order into an evanescent diffraction order and vice versa [2]. In 1965, Hessel et al., using rigorous diffraction theory, introduced the concept of resonance anomalies due to the coupling between a propagating mode with a surface or guided wave [3]. The first experimental demonstration of guided mode resonances in dielectric gratings was reported by Mashev and Popov [4] and their first practical applications have been proposed by Magnusson et al. [5,6]. The observation of guided mode resonances in 1D and 2D PCM have been reported [7] and the specific properties of these high index contrast gratings have been analysed in [8].In this article, it will be emphasized that PCMs (i.e. planar gratings with a strong periodic index distribution), exhibits two main a...

Guided-mode resonances in subwavelength gratings are strongly dependent on incident angles. A beam selector with high sensitivity is designed based on this property. A guided-mode resonant silicon nitride (Si 3 N 4 ) grating on a silicon dioxide (SiO 2 ) substrate is presented as an example of such a device with a 1.55 m wavelength. The calculated reflection resonance has an incident angle FWHM of ⌬ϳ0.0042 radians, and a normal-incident peak efficiency of ϳ99.9%. In addition, we propose that this type of beam selector be applied to select transverse modes of semiconductor lasers. © 2002 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers.
