When the traditional thin film optical device realizes narrow-band transmission filtering, the size is large, the preparation difficulty is high, and the application of the filtering technology in the fields of national defense, aerospace, biomedical treatment and the like is seriously hindered.

More specifically, each grating itself serves as a high-reflection mirror, and a reflection cavity formed by the two high-reflection mirrors independently realizes filtering or is cascaded with reflection cavities formed by other gratings or gratings to output different required spectral lines.

More specifically, each grating is used as a high-reflection mirror, and a reflection cavity formed by the two high-reflection mirrors realizes independent filtering or cascade output of different spectral lines required by the reflection cavity formed by other gratings or gratings.
More specifically, the filter is directly placed in the air or wrapped by using SU-8 photoresist as a supporting material, and the air or SU-8 photoresist is used as an environmental material.
More specifically, the grating is made of high-refractive-index materials including titanium dioxide, silicon, germanium, gallium arsenide, indium phosphide or silicon-rich silicon nitride; the environment material adopts low refractive index material comprising air, water, silicon dioxide or SU-8 photoresist.
In the specific implementation process, various filter characteristics are obtained by combining the gratings step by step, and the refractive index of the material of the grating is ngThe period, duty cycle (grating width divided by grating period), thickness, and interval between gratings from top to bottom are respectively represented by Λi、dci、ti、tsi(i=1,2,...n)。
In a specific implementation process, the narrow-band filter structure provided by the invention has the characteristics of narrow-band filtering, narrow-angle filtering or narrow-band narrow-angle filtering; the whole structure can be suspended in the air, or can be wrapped by support materials such as SU-8 photoresist and the like, and the air and the SU-8 photoresist are environmental materials at the moment. The grating is made of a medium material with a high refractive index, and the environment material is made of a medium with a low refractive index. The obtained narrow-band filter realizes the adjustability of the transmission center wavelength and the center angle in the working waveband, theoretically, the transmission wavelength bandwidth can reach sub-nanometer, the transmission angle bandwidth can reach sub-milliradian magnitude, the transmissivity can reach 100%, the thickness of the designed device is of the sub-wavelength magnitude, and the defects of large volume and mass and high preparation difficulty of the conventional narrow-band filter are overcome.
In the specific implementation process, the filter has extremely high reflectivity in a broadband full-angle range except for a transmission center, so that the interference of noise signals is greatly reduced; by adjusting dislocation between the gratings along the period direction, the transmission peaks can present different symmetries, so that different sensitivities can be obtained along different directions; and the characteristics of multi-channel output, flat-top band response and the like can be obtained by a cascading method.

In the specific implementation process, a typical dielectric grating, such as a rectangular grating, is formed by arranging rectangular dielectric columns at equal intervals along the period direction. Considering each rectangular column as a waveguide, the mode dispersion relation, the reflectivity and the transmissivity of the grating and the electromagnetic field distribution can be solved by adopting a waveguide array mode expansion method. Wide (frequency, angle) band high reflectivity characteristics can generally be obtained when there is only 0 order diffraction within the bimodal region and the grating. The narrow-band filter composed of the high-reflection medium grating can realize a sharp transmission peak with a high quality factor and a low side band; the filtering can be realized on the wavelength, the angle or both simultaneously; the material and the geometric thickness are properly selected, and the central wavelength and the central angle of the transmission peak can be controlled or the bandwidth of the transmission peak can be adjusted to adapt to different requirements.

s1: selecting a grating according to the required transmission wave band, the transmissivity, the symmetry of the transmission peak and whether the flat-top band response is required;
s2: adjusting the thickness of each layer of grating according to the required transmission center wavelength and/or center angle;
s3: further adjusting the spacing between the gratings according to the desired transmission center wavelength and/or center angle;
s4: judging whether flat-top-band response is needed, if so, enabling a primary reflection cavity formed by two gratings to be equivalent to a reflector, cascading with another primary reflection cavity or a grating, realizing the flat-top-band response by adjusting the spacing distance, and executing the step S6; if not, go to step S5;
s5: judging whether a symmetrical transmission peak is needed, if so, adjusting dislocation between the upper grating and the lower grating to realize the symmetrical transmission peak, and executing the step S6; if not, directly executing the step S6;
s6: different magnitudes of transmittance are achieved by adjusting the spacing between the gratings according to the desired transmittance.
