Design of transverse magnetic-reflected polarizing film

【摘要】 We propose a wideband transverse magnetic-reflected polarizing film composed of Cr and SiO2. Based on the polarization characteristics of reflected light from Cr/SiO2 film, the film can serves as a polarizer to severely attenuate the transverse electric(TE)-polarized light and reflect the transverse magnetic(TM)-polarized light in a wavelength range from 600 to 900 nm. By suitably choosing the film thicknesses, the operation angles of such polarizers can be adjusted over a wide angle range greater than the critical angle of total reflection. Cr/SiO2 film has potential use in surface plasmon resonance(SPR) sensors based on Kretchmann configuration to form integrated structures.更多还原
