Examples of optical devices based on periodic leaky-mode resonant layers are presented. A single layer element provides versatile spectra for wideband reflectors, polarizers and other applications....

Devices based on the guided-mode resonance (GMR) e®ect are very promising

elements in the areas of optics and electromagnetics. They can provide variety of spectral re-

sponses only founded on periodically ...

A single-layer guided-mode resonance-based broadband high reflector is designed for the 0.45-2 micron

wavelength band using the particle swarm optimizati on technique. The designed TM-polarized reflector

provides ~520 nm bandwidth...

explained in terms of the photonic band structure and associated leaky-wave effects near the second

stop band. Resonant devices such as bandpass/bandstop filters, polarizers, wideband reflectors,

biosensors, tunable filters, and display pixels can...
