Abstract

We describe the fabrication and characterization of omnidirectional reflectors based on silver-doped chalcogenide glass and polymer. We deposited periodically alternating layers of thermally evaporated Ge33As12Se55 chalcogenide glass, sputtered silver, and spun-cast polyamide-imide polymer. The silver was subsequently dissolved into each adjacent chalcogenide glass layer, either by exposing the multilayer to visible light (photodoping) or by heating the sample. The resultant silver concentration within the chalcogenide glass layers is estimated to be ~20 at. %. Silver doping red-shifts the band edge of the glass, and produces an increase of ~0.3–0.4 in the refractive index. The glass retains good transparency in the near infrared after doping, and the technique enables the omnidirectional bandwidth to be increased from ~100 nm to ~200 nm in the 1550 nm wavelength region.

(a). Schematic showing a PAI/IG2/silver layer structure, as deposited and after exposure to heat or light. The initially undissolved silver layers dissolve into adjacent IG2 layers upon exposure to heat or light, and form homogenously silver-doped IG2 layers (Ag:IG2). The layers are not to scale. The targeted layer thickness was ~290 nm for PAI layers, ~125 nm for IG2 layers, and ~20 nm for Ag layers. (b). Normal incidence spectrophotometer scans of sample B (see text) before light exposure (blue curve), and after light exposure (red curve). PAI layers were cured at 200°C in this case, and no significant change in transmission characteristics was observed after light exposure. Presumably, silver doping was thermally induced during the curing of the PAI layers. (c). Normal Incidence spectrophotometer scans of a sample created in a similar fashion to sample B, but with PAI layers cured at 90°C. The blue curve was taken before white light exposure, and the red curve after white light exposure. Prior to light exposure, the sample is essentially opaque due to the presence of un-reacted silver. After photodoping, the spectrum is that expected for a Bragg mirror.

Normal incidence digital camera picture of (a) sample A (silver-free) and (b) sample B (silver-containing), showing mirror finish of the omnidirectional reflectors. The color of the samples is due to their spectral reflection and absorption features as shown in Fig. 4 below, and described in the text. A reflected image of the digital camera appears in each case.

(a): SEM image of a facet of sample B after cleaving in liquid nitrogen. Good adhesion is evident with no evidence of film delamination or cracking. The overlaid ladder is a guide to the eye, with the distance between orange bars ~100 nm. (b). Normal incidence transmittance of sample A. The green curve is experimental data, and the yellow curve is a simulated curve based on a transfer matrix method and neglecting absorption. (c). Normal incidence spectrophotometer scans of sample B. The red curve is experimental data, and the blue curve is simulated assuming Δn=0.33. Sample B has a broader stopband, as is expected from the increased index of refraction of the Ag:IG2 layers as compared with standard IG2 glass.

(a). TM (left column) and TE (right column) reflectance curves for the silver-free sample A, for incidence angles of (from top to bottom) 0, 20, 34, 48, 62, and 76 degrees from normal. Red curves are experimental VASE data and blue curves were simulated based on a transfer matrix approach without absorption. See text for layer thicknesses used in simulation. The data agrees very well above the IG2 electronic absorption edge, although experimental data in the NIR stop bands is noisy due to the instability of the VASE light source in that region. An omnidirectional reflection band between ~1535 nm and ~1635 nm is indicated. (b). Same as (a), except for the silver-containing sample B. The Ag:IG2 layers were assumed to have Δn=0.40 in the simulations. The omnidirectional band in this case lies between ~1475 nm and ~1675 nm as indicated by the shading.
