Abstract

We report the first experimental demonstration of a novel single-layer subwavelength grating (SWG) that has >500-nm-wide reflection spectrum from 1.12-1.62 μm and very high reflectivity (>98.5%). This SWG is scalable for different wavelengths by simply changing the grating dimensions, which, thus, facilitates monolithic integration of devices over a wide range of wavelengths.
