Nathalie Destouches, Jean-Claude Pommier, Olivier Parriaux, Tina Clausnitzer, Nikolai Lyndin and Svetlen Tonchev, “Narrow band resonant grating of 100% reflection under normal incidence”, Opt. Express **14**, 12613 (2006). [https://doi.org/10.1364/oe.14.012613](https://doi.org/10.1364/oe.14.012613)

A resonant grating mirror built from two sub-mirrors that reflect constructively into each other: a multilayer stack and a grating slab waveguide. Fabricated and measured, the device shows zero transmission at resonance with a line width below 1 nm, polarization selectivity and low loss, which qualifies it as a longitudinal-mode filter for a disk laser in the 1000–1100 nm range.

The paper compares the measured transmission with the theoretical curve computed for the *measured* grating parameters (period 559.1 nm, depth 17 nm): the resonance lands within 1 nm of the nominal design wavelength. It names both the modal method and the C method. Nikolay Lyndin, the author of MC Grating, is a co-author.
