We propose and investigate a polarization-independent high-efficiency encapsulated subwavelength grating with a connecting layer in this paper. Numerical simulated method of rigorous coupled-wave analysis is adopted for optimization. Based on the simulated precise results, a simplified modal method is used to give perspicuous physical propagating fundamentals and explain wideband performance in the grating, where the coupled efficiencies by means of the simplified modal method are to be in conformity with the calculated values of the rigorous coupled-wave analysis for TE and TM polarizations. Compared with the researched surface-relief polarization-independent single-port grating, efficiencies are improved with 98.1% for TE polarization and 98.2% for TM polarization. Hence, the novel gratings with some superiorities are suitable for promising photonic devices.

Since the development almost a decade ago of the first biosensor based on surface plasmon resonance (SPR), the use of this technique has increased steadily. In this study, we theoretically investigated the sensing character of SPR sensor with reflection type metallic with Rigorous Coupled Wave Analysis (RCWA) method, and the mechanism is analyzed by the field distribution. It is found that the sensitivity of negative diffraction order, which goes higher quickly as the resonant angle increases, is much greater than that of positive diffraction order.

This paper presents the simulation results of top nano-grating on solar cell using rigorous coupled wave analysis (RCWA) method. However, compared to other simulation results, we calculated weighted total transmission of solar cell according to Sun spectrum and Silicon photo detector responsivity. Our optimization shows that the top grating with period 200nm, width 40nm, and height 150nm is the optimization structure. This case has 0.45544 total weighted transmission powers and is about 70.9% improvement compared to the non-grating case.

The Given

This paper designed a novel three-output reflective packaged grating. The optimized parameters such as the period and depth of the high-efficiency three-output grating with an incident wavelength of 1550 nm can be calculated by rigorous coupled-wave analysis (RCWA). According to the optimized result, the grating can diffract the incident light energy into three orders with an efficiency of nearly 33% under the premise of second Bragg angle incidence and the given duty ratio of 0.5. The diffraction efficiency of the packaged grating is improved compared to the surface-relief three-output grating under second Bragg angle incidence, especially for TE-polarized light.
