Abstract

The present invention is directed to a device for reflecting a select polarization of at least one transmission having a given wavelength impinging upon the device. The device includes a substrate and a layer of nanostructures. The nanostructures form a resonant pattern on the substrate adapted to define a plurality of high contrast refractive index interfaces suitable for reflecting the select polarization of the at least one transmission.
