Abstract

This paper presented the design of subwavelength grating (i.e., nano-grating) for narrow-band and wide-band filter applications. The grating period can be tuned from 700 nm to 1140 nm by a rhombic-shaped thermal actuator array with a driving current of 2.7 mA, achieving a change of transmissivity by 13 dB due to the guided mode resonance. Wide-band of filtering can be obtained by use of another fixed-period grating to compensate the dispersion. Such grating design makes it practical to implement many tunable nano-optical devices.
