摘要
We report a design and fabrication strategy for creating single-layer metallodielectric nanostructures with dual-band filtering properties at midinfrared wavelengths. Genetic algorithm optimization was used to determine an arrangement of nanometer-scale metal pixels within one unit cell of a two-dimensional periodic array that best satisfied the user-specified filter response and nanofabrication design rule constraints. Infrared transmission and reflection spectra measured on an optimized nanostructure array had two narrow stop bands blueshifted by 0.2 mu m from the designed center wavelengths of 3.3 and 4.1 mu m, with transmission attenuation greater than -20 dB and reflection attenuation less than -1.5 dB in each band. This strategy provides a practical and efficient approach to design metallodielectric nanostructures needed for photonic device applications as well as for future low-loss refractive index engineered metamaterials.
