Abstract

We report the design of dielectric-filled anti-reflection coated (ARC) two-dimensional (2D) metallic photonic crystals (MPhCs) capable of omnidirectional, polarization insensitive, wavelength selective emission/absorption. Using non-linear global optimization methods, optimized hafnium oxide (HfO2)-filled ARC 2D Tantalum (Ta) PhC designs exhibiting up to 26% improvement in emittance/absorptance at wavelengths λ below a cutoff wavelength λc over the unfilled 2D TaPhCs are demonstrated. The optimized designs possess high hemispherically average emittance/absorptance εH of 0.86 at λ < λc and low εH of 0.12 at λ > λc.

Fig. 1 Emittance ε as a function of wavelength λ and polar angle θ averaged over azimuthal angle ϕ and over all polarizations for optimized (a) 2D TaPhC (r = 0.53 μm, d = 8.50 μm, a = 1.16 μm) and (b) HfO2-filled ARC 2D TaPhC (r = 0.23 μm, d = 4.31 μm, a = 0.57 μm, t = 78 nm). Both are optimized for λc = 2.00 μm. HfO2 is depicted by the cyancoloured areas in the inset, and εH is the hemispherically averaged emittance. Contour plots of ε(λ, θ) are also shown for optimized (c) 2D TaPhC and (d) HfO2-filled ARC 2D TaPhC. White lines indicate the diffraction thresholds as defined by Eq. (2).
