A design of broken-symmetry–based ultra-narrowband filter assisted by coupled guided-mode resonance
-
Abstract
In order to realize the application requirements of ultra-narrowband filters in the field of optical communication and optical sensing, this paper proposes a design concept of introducing a coupled guided mode resonance in an asymmetric grating waveguide structure to complete the efficient transmission filtering for specific wavelengths. The filtering structure consists of two added subwavelength gratings stacked on a silicon-based waveguide with the same period but different filling factors. Light waves are incident vertically from the top of the composite gratings, and the asymmetric resonant coupling of multiple waveguide modes can be excited by adjusting the thickness and filling factor of the bottom grating. Numerical simulations show that extremely strong electric field enhancement can be generated using this symmetry-broken guided-mode resonant coupling. Under the premise of satisfying the high sideband rejection ratio, the structure not only realizes the ultra-narrowband filtering effect of 0.005 nm, but also has a high transmission efficiency of 99%. -

Overview
In the field of modern communication systems and signal processing, frequency selectivity is one of the keys to achieving efficient and reliable communication. With the continuous development of communication technology and growing application demands, the requirements for frequency selectivity in signal transmission are getting higher and higher. As an important frequency selective component with narrow bandwidth, high quality factor and good frequency selectivity, ultra-narrowband filters are widely used in the fields of radio frequency identification, radar systems, communication networks and astronomical observation. Conventional wideband filters cannot meet the frequency selectivity requirements in some specific application scenarios because they have large bandwidths and poor stopband attenuation characteristics. In contrast, ultra-narrowband filters with narrower bandwidth and better stopband characteristics can effectively suppress unwanted frequency components, thus improving the signal transmission quality and system performance. Therefore, the design, optimisation and performance analysis of ultra-narrowband filters are of great significance, which can promote the advancement of communication systems and signal processing technologies, and meet the needs of different application scenarios. However, the design and optimisation of ultra-narrowband filters face a number of challenges, such as the balance between frequency selectivity and bandwidth, the trade-off between stopband attenuation and passband loss, and the limitations of the manufacturing process. Therefore, an in-depth study of the design principles, optimisation methods, and performance analysis of ultra-narrowband filters is of great significance in overcoming these challenges and improving the performance and adaptability of the filters.
This study focuses on the design and analysis of ultra-narrow bandpass filters based on subwavelength gratings with a symmetric breaking structure. The objective is to investigate the potential of these filters and explore their performance characteristics. The research methodology involves numerical simulations and optimization techniques. The subwavelength gratings are designed and optimized by adjusting key parameters such as grating period, duty cycle, and thickness. The rigorous coupled-wave analysis (RCWA) method is employed to analyze the transmission characteristics of the filters, including transmittance and full width at half maximum(FWHM). The results demonstrate the successful realization of ultra-narrow bandpass filters based on subwavelength gratings with a symmetric breaking structure. These filters exhibit Very high transmittance, narrow bandwidth within a specific wavelength range. The filter structure is verified by numerical calculations and simulations to have an ultra-narrow band filtering effect of 0.005 nm and 99% transmittance. In conclusion, the proposed ultra-narrow bandpass filters based on subwavelength gratings with a symmetric breaking structure show great potential for applications in optical communication systems, spectral analysis, and laser technology. Future work can focus on further optimizing the filter design to enhance its performance characteristics and exploring wider application domains.
