“…The commercial code MC Crossed Gratings has been used. This code has been successfully used in several published works . The code calculates the interaction of a plane electromagnetic wave with the multilayer corrugated structure providing the efficiencies (complex amplitude and power) of all reflected and transmitted diffraction waves.…”

International audienceSurface finishes based on structural colors raise interest in product design and architecture in that long lasting colored surfaces can be produced with low risks if color fading. In this paper, aluminum surface are patterned through anodization with additional chemical post-treatment. This electrochemical technique is advantageous in that it is already industrially mature and enables the treatment of large surfaces. The resulting surface shows self-organized nanopatterns that lead to specific colored effects. In particular, colored effects similar to rainbow colors are observed in backscattering while the sample preserves its typical grayish metallic color when observed in direct reflection. Optical characterization of the sample have been performed and compared to optical simulations using Fourier modal method (FMM) method. A strong consistency between the simulation results and the experimental measurements has been obtained. It has been demonstrated that the color effects observed in backscattering are due to first order diffraction phenomena

“…Consequently, the widening of the tolerance of dielectric gratings has gained most of the efforts over the last 10 years. It was suggested in 2007 to etch the grating on the high refractive index to improve the spectral tolerance [130,131]. One of the nicest achievement in the design and fabrication of diffraction gratings was obtained by Martz et al who increased the contrast between the different materials of the multilayer and by etching the grating in different materials [127] (see Fig.…”

“…Furthermore, guide-mode resonance (GMR) [14], which would destroy the pulse spectrum shape and significantly decrease the LIDT of MDG [15], would be excited, especially when the spectrum of incident light covers a broad wavelength band. Besides, the widest bandwidth of MDG with high efficiency is only 40 nm centered at 800 nm [16][17][18] because there is no effective design method reported in the literature, and such bandwidth is insufficient to meet the requirement in a fs pulse laser system, which needs near 100% efficiency over 100 nm bandwidth wide. Therefore, it is necessary and important to develop an effective method to design a broadband, high-efficiency PCG.…”

We report on two effective methods, multiparameter optimization and local optimization combined with the diffraction bandwidth merit function, to design a broadband pulse compression grating (PCG), and we present broadband, high-efficiency PCGs based on both the multilayer dielectric grating (MDG) and metal-multilayer dielectric grating (MMDG) models. For MDG, the average diffraction efficiency is higher than 97.5% for TE polarization light over the 100 nm bandwidth centered at 800 nm. Moreover, a novel multilayer structure, which comprises higher index material in the high-reflectivity mirror and relatively lower index material on top, is first proposed to yield higher average efficiency, broader bandwidth, and excellent fabrication tolerance. For MMDG, it exhibits an ultrabroadband top-hat diffraction spectrum with average efficiency exceeding 97% over the 200 nm wavelength wide centered at 1053 nm. In addition, the MMDG structure, which has the best tolerance for grating fabrication, is determined by investigating characteristics of MMDGs with different thin-film structures.
