            Abstract : 
We fabricated two-dimensional sub-wavelength structured (SWS) surfaces on crystal silicon (Si) and gallium aluminum arsenide (GaAlAs) substrates. The SWS surfaces had 150-200 nm period tapered gratings. In visible wavelength, the reflectivities decreased drastically on the SWS surfaces.
