Flat-top resonant reflectors with sharply delimited angular spectra: an application of the Rayleigh anomaly

Abstract

We introduce the concept of Rayleigh reflectors where extremely sharp angular spectra with unity reflectance are obtained across considerable angular extents. Enabling the device is a rapid, high-efficiency transition from an evanescent to a propagating first-order substrate wave occurring at the Rayleigh angle. A high-index nanolayer located adjacent to the substrate is seen to critically affect the resulting spectra. Away from the Rayleigh anomaly, the device is a basic guided-mode resonance (GMR) high reflector. Hence, this device connects the fundamental concepts of GMR and the Rayleigh anomaly with interesting possible applications, including filters and couplers.
