Narrowband Fabry-Pérot filters based on cavity resonator integrated grating filters
摘要
We explore the potential of cavity resonator integrated grating filters (CRIGF) to create ultra-narrowband spectral Fabry-Pérot filters with enhanced angular tolerance. We propose and demonstrate the merits of a design methodology that first considers a simple grating coupler based Fabry-Pérot filter, before proceeding to computationally intensive CRIGF simulations. Our analysis focuses on the performance of the designed filters when illuminated by a highly focused beam. Using rigorous calculations with a full 3D incident Gaussian beam, we show that these 2D structures exhibit strong angular sensitivity along the direction parallel to the grating grooves when resonance bandwidths are ultra narrow. Theoretically, we achieve a
