Background:

Traditional color filters face limitations in efficiency and spectral performance.
Subwavelength gratings offer potential for advanced optical filtering applications.

Purpose of the Study:

To design and analyze a novel two-dimensional (2D) submicrometer metal grating color filter.
To enhance the performance of color filters using a high refractive index dielectric film.

Main Methods:

Rigorous coupled-wave analysis (RCWA) was employed for device simulation.
The filter design incorporates a polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) substrate, high refractive index dielectric film, submicrometer grating, and low refractive index dielectric overlay.
Specific structural parameters (period, heights) were optimized for red, green, and blue light.

Main Results:

Optimized red, green, and blue filters achieved peak transmissions of 72%, 75%, and 71% respectively.
The designed filters exhibited center wavelengths at 645 nm (red), 546 nm (green), and 455 nm (blue).
Peak transmission efficiency was enhanced by over 14% compared to existing grating-based color filters.

Conclusions:

The proposed 2D submicrometer metal grating color filter demonstrates superior performance.
The integration of a high refractive index dielectric film is crucial for enhancing filter efficiency.
This advanced filter design holds promise for next-generation display and imaging technologies.
