This lecture introduces devices based on guided-mode resonance. The lecture includes a description of the physics, illustrates how various parameters affect the response, describes a simple design procedure with examples, and highlights some of the main applications.

This course by Dr. Raymond C. Rumpf is intended to teach students about electromagnetic devices and how they may look and operate in coming decades. Special attention will be paid to periodic structures, metamaterials, and structures fabricated by 3D printing.
Devices will be designed and analyzed using tools developed during the prerequisite course “Computational Electromagnetics” as well as some new tools developed in this course.
