Abstract
We report on the enhancement of inverse polarization transmission of deep ultraviolet light, with the TE transmittance ηTE largely exceeding the TM transmittance ηTM, through a hybrid Al-SiO 2 grating: The grating slits are conformally filled with SiO 2. Strong coupling of the incident wave to surface plasmon polaritons greatly reduces the TM transmittance, whereas the coupling to the low-loss TE mode, with its effective refractive index approaching that of the substrate, leads to the enhanced TE transmittance. At resonance, a pronounced inverse polarization extinction ratio of 35 dB was obtained in our experiment, much higher than any previously reported values.
