Abstract

We present a new technique for fabrication of a linear variable guided-mode resonance (GMR) filter based upon nanoreplica molding. The developed process utilizes a wedge-shaped elastomeric mold, which is stretched to obtain 1D gratings with a linearly graded period. A high refractive index dielectric film is deposited on the graded-period grating to serve as the waveguide layer of the GMR filter. The GMR wavelength varies in a range of 680.2–737.0 nm depending on measurement location on the filter.
