The application discloses a long-wave
infrared polarization-independent narrow-band trap filter and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of
infrared optical devices. The long-wave
infrared polarization-independent narrow-band trap filter comprises periodically arranged two-dimensional
grating units, and each of the two-dimensional
grating units comprises a substrate, a
waveguide layer arranged on the substrate, a
grating structure layer arranged on the
waveguide layer, a grating anti-reflection layer arranged on the grating structure layer, and a back anti-reflection film arranged on the side of the substrate away from the
waveguide layer. The grating structure layer adopts a cross-shaped grating structure, which has the same period
Lambda in the x and y directions and is distributed in a 90-degree
rotational symmetry. Under the symmetrical structure, TE and TM polarized light experience the same
phase matching condition, so that the
resonance characteristics are not sensitive to the polarization direction of incident light, and thus polarization-independent filtering is realized.
