We show that a single photonic crystal slab can function either as optical all-pass transmission or flattop reflection filter for normally incident light. Both filter functions are synthesized by designing the spectral properties of guided resonance in the slab. The structure is extremely compact along the vertical direction. We expect this device to be useful for optical communication systems.
