Structural color filters based on an all-dielectric metasurface exploiting silicon-rich silicon nitride nanodisks
Open accessAbstract
An all-dielectric metasurface is deemed to serve a potential platform to demonstrate spectral filters. Silicon-rich silicon nitride (SRN), which contains a relatively large portion of silicon, can exhibit higher refractive indices, when compared to silicon nitride. Meanwhile, the extinction coefficient of SRN is smaller than that of hydrogenated amorphous silicon, leading to reduced absorption loss in the shorter wavelength. SRN is therefore recommended as a scattering element from the perspective of realizing all-dielectric metasurfaces. In this work, we propose and embody a suite of highly efficient structural color filters, capitalizing on a dielectric metasurface that consists of a two-dimensional array of SRN nanodisks that are embedded in a polymeric layer. The SRN nanodisks may support the electric dipole (ED) and magnetic dipole (MD) resonances via Mie scattering, thereby leading to appropriate spectral filtering characteristics. The ED and MD are identified from field profile observation with the assistance of finite-difference time-domain simulations. The manufactured color filters are observed to produce various colors in both transmission and reflection modes throughout the visible band, giving rise to a high transmission of around 90% in the off-resonance region and a reflection ranging up to 60%. A variety of colors can be realized by tuning the resonance by adjusting the structural parameters such as the period, diameter, and height of the SRN nanodisks. The spectral position of resonances might be flexibly tuned by tailoring the polymer surrounding the SRN nanodisks. It is anticipated that the proposed coloring devices will be actively used for color displays, imaging devices, and photorealistic color printing.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
