Planar Metamaterial Absorber Based on Lumped Elements

We present the design of a planar metamaterial absorber based on lumped elements, which shows a wide-band polarization-insensitive and wide-angle strong absorption. This absorber consists of metal electric resonators, the dielectric substrate, the metal film and lumped elements. The simulated absorbances under two different loss conditions indicate that high absorbance in the absorption band is mainly due to lumped resistances. The simulated absorbances under three different load conditions indicate that the local resonance circuit （lumped resistance and capacitance） could boost up the resonance of the whole RLC circuit. The simulated voltage in lumped elements indicates that the transformation efficiency from electromagnetic energy to electric energy in the absorption band is high, and electric energy is subsequently consumed by lumped resistances. This absorber may have potential applications in many military fields.     

Planar Metamaterial Microwave Absorber for all Wave Polarizations

We present a design for a polarization insensitive metamaterial absorber at 9.5 GHz by utilizing properly arranged resonant unit cells with orthogonal polarization sensitivity. Full-wave electromagnetic simulation demonstrates nearly perfect microwave absorption, which has been verified by experimental measurement with a maximum absorption of about 92% for incident wave with different polarizations. Furthermore, we find such a metamaterial thin absorber could work for a wide incident angle ranging from 0° to 50°with absorption no less than 80° for both the transverse electric mode and transverse magnetic mode.

Low Frequency Ultra-Thin Compact Metamaterial Absorber Comprising Split-Ring Resonators

We present a design of a low frequency ultra-thin compact and polarization-insensitive metamaterial absorber （MA）. The designed MA is a two-layer structure, a periodic array of novel split-ring resonators （SRRs）, which are constructed in an FR4 dielectric layer, and another ultra-thin grounded sheet is attached to the bottom. Numerical simulated results show that the proposed MA can realize effective absorption at the frequency 281.9 MHz, and its overall thickness is just only 0.29% of the resonant wavelength, the unit space is only 2.57%, and the absorbanee is kept well for a wide range of incident angles for different polarizations. In addition, the proposed MA is changed into a more compact one when the inter-digital structures are introduced in the SRRs. One convenient experiment is carried out in a rectangular waveguide simulator.     

Polarization-Independent Broadband Optical Regime Metamaterial Absorber for Solar Harvesting: A Numerical Approach

In this article, a broadband metamaterial (MTM) absorber is proposed that exhibits near-unity absorption in the terahertz regime. The proposed metamaterial absorber was initiated on a quartz (fused) substrate, whereas the resonator and backplane are constructed with tungsten. The resonator is designed with a square ring loaded with a face-to-face E structure at the center. It also consists of diagonally extended arrow-like shapes loaded from the corners and a concave-shaped structure extended from the middle of the square ring. Near-perfect absorption is observed at the frequencies of 465.2 THz, 585.2 THz, 648.8 THz, and 762.8 THz with absorption peaks of 99.8%, 99.9%, 99.92%, and 99.92%, respectively. Moreover, it exhibits broadband absorption properties above 90% absorption with bandwidths 20.4 THz, 80.8 THz, 41.6 THz, and 90 THz, respectively, at these resonance frequencies. Due to its symmetrical structure, it shows polarization-insensitivity behavior up to 90° with maximum absorption greater than 90% both in transverse (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) modes. It also exhibits insensitivity to changes of incident angle from 0°–45°. Metamaterial properties of the proposed absorber are also analyzed, showing single negative behavior. Absorber property has been examined through surface current and equivalent circuit electric and magnetic field analysis. The effect of the cross-polarization is negligible and is verified through simulation. Due to its large bandwidth, polarization-insensitive behavior, and low PCR, the proposed MTM absorber can be incorporated into photovoltaic devices as a solar-energy harvester.     

An Infrared Metamaterial Broadband Absorber Based on a Simple Titanium Disk with High Absorption and a Tunable Spectral Absorption Band

A metamaterial absorber is proposed that functions in the medium- (3–5 µm) and long-wavelength (8–12 µm) infrared (medium-wavelength infrared, MWIR, and long-wavelength infrared, LWIR, respectively) regions. The proposed design, which consists of periodic cells, can be tuned to achieve single-band or dual-band light absorption by changing the periodicity of the structure. Each cell forming the metamaterial absorber consists of a bottom metal plate (Al), a top metal disk (Ti), and an intermediate dielectric medium (Si or ZnS) in which a metal disk (Ti) is embedded. For a period of 0.85 µm, the absorber achieves broadband absorption in the LWIR region, with an average absorption of 92.1%. Further, the absorber shows acceptable tolerance to irradiation at oblique incidence. For a period of 2 µm, a peak absorption of 99.05% is achieved in the MWIR region, thereby providing dual-band absorption. Tuning the periodicity of the structure enhances the localized surface plasmon resonance, with the absorption mechanism explained by establishing an equivalent parallel LC circuit. The absorption properties demonstrated by the proposed metamaterial absorber are promising for thermal imaging and infrared spectroscopy.     

Photoexcited Blueshift and Redshift Switchable Metamaterial Absorber at Terahertz Frequencies

We propose a design and numerical study of an optically blueshift and redshift switchable metamaterial(MM)absorber in the terahertz regime. The MM absorber comprises a periodic array of metallic split-ring resonators(SRRs) with semiconductor silicon embedded in the gaps of MM resonators. The absorptive frequencies of the MM can be shifted by applying an external pump power. The simulation results show that, for photoconductivity of silicon ranging between 1 S/m and 4000 S/m, the resonance peak of the absorption spectra shifts to higher frequencies, from 0.67 THz to 1.63 THz, with a resonance tuning range of 59%. As the conductivity of silicon increases, the resonance frequencies of the MM absorber are continuously tuned from 1.60 THz to 1.16 THz, a redshift tuning range of 28%. As the conductivity increases above 30000 S/m, the resonance frequencies tend to be stable while the absorption peak has a merely tiny variation. The optical-tuned absorber has potential applications as a terahertz modulator or switch.

Generalized RF Pulse Train with Insensitivity to B 1 Inhomogeneity

Adiabatic inversion recovery radiofrequency (RF) pulse techniques are used to address B ₁ inhomogeneity; however, the specific absorption rates of these techniques are significantly higher than that of non-adiabatic RF pulse techniques. In addition, time efficiency is poorer because of the required longer inversion recovery time. Therefore, an RF pulse train with three subpulses was previously developed and reported. The purpose of this article was to generalize the RF pulse train for tissues with different T ₁ relaxation times and in a different application. The RF pulse train B ₁ insensitivities and frequency responses were calculated with different T ₁ relaxation times and different subpulse durations using the Bloch equation. The previously reported optimal flip angle (FA) combination was used. When using the optimal FA combination, the RF pulse train B ₁ insensitivity did not change even if the T ₁ relaxation times and the subpulse durations did change. In other words, the optimal FA combination does not require adjustments according to the T ₁ and subpulse duration. The RF pulse train frequency responses with these subpulses can be dramatically improved even if the inherent subpulse frequency response is poor. This finding will facilitate RF pulse train technique implementation on magnetic resonance imaging scanners.
