Infrared photonics

We report on the design and experimental verification of angle and polarization insensitive mid-infrared filters based on dense arrays of dielectric resonators embedded into a metallic film. We experimentally show filters with 60% peak transmission for angles from 0 to 60 degrees for perpendicular polarization states. We also study the surface plasmonic mode excited due to the periodicity of the micro-resonators in the array. Simulations support the experimental results for both the primary resonance and the plasmonic mode.
