Abstract
A comparative study of the reflection spectral resonances in weakly and str ongly modulated subwavelength gratings is presented. The effects of strong modulation in resonant subwavelength gratings have been largely ignored in the literature. We show that the spectral stability of resonances as a func tion of angle of incidence around normal can be greatly enhanced with stron gly modulated gratings while the desirable narrow linewidth associated with weakly modulated gratings is still maintained.
