A highly efficient asymmetric transmission device for arbitrary linearly polarized light
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract In this paper, we theoretically demonstrate a nanophotonic optical asymmetric transmission device (NOATD) for arbitrary linear polarization, which is composed of two two-dimensional (2D) square-lattice photonic crystals (PhCs) with different effective refractive indices. In this way, the NOATD achieves asymmetric transmission based on the generalized total reflection principle, which is able to realize a high forward transmittance (>0.6) and contrast ratio (>0.9) for arbitrary linearly polarized light in a broad wavelength range (>100 nm).
