Abstract

A numerical calculation of the coupling efficiency for a perfectly conducting metallic grating for intersubband transitions in semiconductor quantum wells is presented as a function of the ratio of the grating period p to the intersubband resonance wavelength λ for various degrees of metal filling. The effect of grating parameters on the conversion efficiency is discussed. Results provide detailed guidelines for obtaining optimum coupling for infrared devices.
