Abstract

In this contribution we discuss configurations of stacked silicon high contrast gratings (HCGs) which are separated by a thin silicon dioxide grating such that they are coupled via their near-fields. For a given configuration altering incidence angle allows to either benefit from the optical performance of two separated HCGs or one single grating with enhanced thickness. This effect can serve to realize filters with tailored optical properties and for diffractive cavity couplers. We experimentally demonstrate the coupling effect on a stack of two HCGs for a wavelength of 1550nm and transverse-magnetic polarization. The investigated structure provides a nearly angular independent high reflectance.
