Abstract
We present the design of a transmission filter in mid-infrared and its experimental verification using phase change material GST (Germanium Antimony Telluride). Progressively increasing the annealing temperature of GST controls the crystalline structure, allowing the refractive index to increase significantly in a steady rate. One-dimensional metal dielectric sub-wavelength grating device, such that the dielectric segments are proportioned to decouple any angular-dependent resonance. Incorporating GST between metal gratings allows transmission wavelengths to be actively tuned as annealing increases refractive index. Amorphous and crystalline GST devices show transmission resonances up to 60 degrees indicate that angular-independence is preserved during material excitation.
