Abstract
In this study, we developed a thin plasmonic color sheet (TPCS) embedded with Al subwavelength gratings for use in flexible optical transmission filters, and experimentally demonstrated its transmission characteristics. Al subwavelength gratings were formed in a freestanding thin poly-para-xylylene (parylene-N) film less than 1-μm thick by using electron beam (EB) direct writing and sacrificial etching. The fabricated TPCS contained Al subwavelength gratings with periods ranging from 400 nm to 600 nm, and succeeded in shifting the transmission peak wavelength from 510 nm to 650 nm in the visible range. The freestanding thin parylene-N film deposited by room-temperature chemical vapor deposition provided enough flatness to the TPCS with a height difference of 900 nm in a whole filter area, resulting in uniform transmission spectra. The experimentally obtained peak shift dependent on the grating period agreed well with theoretical calculation results.
