Slow-light effect via Rayleigh anomaly and the effect of finite gratings

Abstract: In this Letter, we investigate the slow-light effect of sub-wavelength diffraction gratings via the Rayleigh anomaly using a fully analytical approach without needing to consider specific grating structures. Our results show that the local group velocity of the transmitted light can be significantly reduced due to the optical vortex, which can inspire a new mechanism to enhance light–matter interactions for optical sensing and photodetection. However, the slow-light effect will diminish as the transmitted ligh… Show more

“…Thicker MOF means more adsorbed gas molecules and longer path of IR absorption. However, if the MOF layer is too thick, many more higher-order modes in the MOF layer will appear, which are very sensitive to the angular deviation of the incident light and device size. , When the incident light is not perfectly collimated or the device size is too small, the actual Q-factor will become much lower, which will reduce the field enhancement. In addition to this, thick MOF will require a much longer time to reach the equilibrium state of gas adsorption and result in slower response time .…”

“…The interference of the backward radiations from the periodic metallic nano-slits results in the Wood's anomaly in the glass substrate. [19] The resonant wavelength of the Wood's anomaly depends on resonant order m, refractive index of the substrate n d , and the grating period P, [20] mλ = n d P.…”

“…Wave-scattering by periodic media, including RW anomalous configurations, at which the quasiperiodic Green function ceases to exist, has continued to attract significant attention in the fields of optics [17,22,33,34,35,36,39,45,50] and computational electromagnetism [3,8,4,9,10,31,14,26,42,39,18]. Classical boundary integral equations methods [43,49,52] have relied on the quasi-periodic Green function (denoted throughout this work as G q κ ), which is defined in terms of a slowly converging infinite series (equation (27)).…”
