Abstract
We investigate the property of polarization independent reflection using a 1D grating. It is shown to be possible, by choosing the correct parameters of the structure and angle of incidence to adjust the bandwidth of the refl ection curves for both polarizations in such a way that these coincide. We expect that the found polarization-independent narrow band filter can be us ed as a component for WDM applications.
