Abstract

In this paper, a two-port encapsulated grating with a connecting layer is demonstrated, which can suppress 0th order under the condition of normal incidence. When the incident light wavelength is 800 nm, the diffraction efficiencies of ±1st orders exceed 44% and that of 0th order is less than 3% under transverse electric and transverse magnetic polarizations. In addition, the fabrication tolerance of the grating is also brilliant. In the period range of 1541-1632 nm and the duty cycle of 0.27-0.36, the diffraction efficiencies of ±1st orders can reach more than 42%. In this paper, the parameters of the grating are optimized by rigorous coupled-wave analysis. Furthermore, the results show that the proposed grating has important application in optical communication, optical storage, etc.
