Abstract
We propose a grating that design is inverted with respect to a design of conventional high-contrast grating (HCG) in which low refractive index grating is implemented on high refractive index cladding. We show that inverted HCG can achieve power reflectance of nearly 100% even if the refractive index of the grating is as low as 1.8. Inverted HCG facilitates implementation of highly reflecting mirrors composed of etched SiN, HfO or 3D micro-printed IP-Dip on semiconductors such as GaAs that processing is less technologically demanding with respect to processing of HCGs or monolithic HCGs.
