A simple design of ultra-broadband and polarization insensitive terahertz metamaterial absorber

Ultra-broadband metamaterial absorbers have attracted considerable attention due to their great prospect for practical applications. These absorbers are usually stacked by many (no. <20) different shaped or sized subunits in a unit cell, making it quite troublesome to be fabricated. Simple design for ultra-broadband absorber is urgently necessary. Herein, we propose a simple design of ultra-broadband and polarization insensitive terahertz metamaterial absorber based on a double-layered composite structure on a metallic board, and each layer consists of two sets of different sized square metallic plates. Greater than 90 % absorption is obtained across a frequency range of 0.85 THz with the central frequency around 1.60 THz. The relative absorption bandwidth of the device is greatly improved to 53.3 %, which is much larger than previous results. The mechanism of the ultra-broadband absorber is attributed to the overlapping of four closely resonance frequencies. The proposed metamaterial absorber has potential applications in detection, imaging and stealth technology.     

Actively tunable dual-broadband graphene-based terahertz metamaterial absorber

A tunable metamaterial absorber (MA) with dual-broadband and high absorption properties at terahertz (THz) frequencies is designed in this work. The MA consists of a periodic array of flower-like monolayer graphene patterns at top, a SiO₂ dielectric spacer in middle, and a gold ground plane at the bottom. The simulation results demonstrate that the designed MA has two wide absorption bands with an absorption of over 90% in frequency ranges of 0.68 THz-1.63 THz and 3.34 THz-4.08 THz, and the corresponding relative bandwidths reach 82.3% and 20%, respectively. The peak absorptivity of the absorber can be dynamically controlled from less than 10% to nearly 100% by adjusting the graphene chemical potential from 0 eV to 0.9 eV. Furthermore, the designed absorber is polarization-insensitive and has good robustness to incident angles. Such a high-performance MA has broad application prospects in THz imaging, modulating, filtering, etc.     

Solar broadband metamaterial perfect absorber based on dielectric resonant structure of Ge cone array and InAs film

The broadband metamaterial perfect absorber has been extensively studied due to its excellent characteristics and promising application prospect. In this work a solar broadband metamaterial perfect absorber is proposed based on the structure of the germanium (Ge) cone array and the indium arsenide (InAs) dielectric film on the gold (Au) substrate. The results show that the absorption covers the whole ultraviolet-visible and near-infrared range. For the case of A > 99%, the absorption bandwidth reaches up to 1230 nm with a wavelength range varied from 200 nm to 1430 nm. The proposed absorber is able to absorb more than 98.7% of the solar energy in a solar spectrum from 200 nm to 3000 nm. The electromagnetic dipole resonance and the high-order modes of the Ge cone couple strongly to the incident optical field, which introduces a strong coupling with the solar radiation and produces an ultra-broadband absorption. The absorption spectrum can be feasibly manipulated via tuning the structural parameters, and the polarization insensitivity performance is particularly excellent. The proposed absorber can possess wide applications in active photoelectric effects, thermion modulators, and photoelectric detectors.

混合谐振模式宽带长波红外超表面吸收器研究

为了满足红外探测器件集成化和对红外宽光谱范围吸收的需求,设计了一种工作在长波红外波段(8~14μm)的超宽带、高吸收、极化不敏感的超材料吸收器。通过在金属-介质-金属三层异质的超材料吸收器结构的顶部金属周围镶嵌一层介质形成超表面,以增加谐振强度和吸收带宽。在8~13.6μm的带宽范围内,该结构有超过90%的平均吸收率,覆盖了大部分长波红外大气窗口波段,对红外探测领域有着重要意义。研究结果表明:镶嵌的金属-介质组成的介质波导模式和谐振腔模式的结合以及传播型表面等离激元模式的激发是形成宽带高吸收的主要原因,并且谐振模式的谐振波长可以通过相关参数来进行调控。本文的研究结果为可调谐宽带长波红外吸收材料的设计提供参考,该设计方法可推广到中波红外波段、甚至长波红外或其它波段。

In this paper, an ultra-broadband metamaterial absorber is successfully designed in the visible region. The structure of the absorber is just obtained by the two-dimensional plane structure which rotate 90° along x-axis. Furthermore, the formation of the structure for the hybrid materials is based on the four U-shaped structure of the metal titanium is embedded in the semiconductor (indium antimonide). The simulated results show that the proposed metamaterial absorber can achieve an ultra-broadband absorption with greater than 90% from 252.2 to 822.3 THz, and the relative absorption bandwidth gets to 106.1%. Finally, the simulated electric field, surface current and power loss density distributions further illustrate the absorption mechanism of the metamaterial absorber. And we believe the metamaterial absorber will have many potential applications in energy harvesting and stealth devices.
