Abstract

Triple-layer omnidirectional reflectors (ODRs) consisting of a semiconductor, a quarter-wavelength transparent dielectric layer, and a metal have high reflectivities for all angles of incidence. Internal ODRs (ambient material’s refractive index n1.0) are demonstrated that incorporate nanoporous SiO2, a low-refractive-index material (n=1.23), as well as dense SiO2 (n=1.46). GaP and Ag serve as the semiconductor and the metal layer, respectively. Reflectivity measurements, including angular dependence, are presented. Calculated angle-integrated TE and TM reflectivities for ODRs employing nanoporous SiO2 are RintTE=99.9% and RintTM=98.9%, respectively, indicating the high potential of the ODRs for low-loss waveguide structures.
