Abstract

The invention discloses a voltage-modulated periodic subwavelength metal grating filter and a preparation method thereof. The filter comprises two transparent conductive glass layers, periodic metal gratings, photoelectric crystals and an electric field generation device, wherein slits distributed in periodic arrays are formed in the periodic metal gratings and filled with the photoelectric crystals; the two transparent conductive glass layers fit the upper and lower surfaces of the periodic metal gratings; the photoelectric crystals are hermetically fixed in the slits of the metal gratings; the electric field generation device is used for generating uniform adjustable electric fields on the two transparent conductive glass layers to change the refractive index parameters of the photoelectric crystals. According to the filter, the refractive index properties of filling materials and the transmittance properties of the metal gratings can be changed by changing external voltages of upper and lower transparent conductive glass electrodes to achieve the purpose of voltage modulation of filter properties.
