Multi-band microwave metamaterial absorber based on coplanar Jerusalem crossesMulti-band microwave metamaterial absorber based on coplanar Jerusalem crosses

The influence of the gap on the absorption performance of the conventional split ring resonator （SRR） absorber is investigated at microwave frequencies. Our simulated results reveal that the geometry of the square SRR can be equivalent to a Jerusalem cross （JC） resonator and its corresponding metamaterial absorber （MA） is changed to a JC absorber. The JC MA exhibits an experimental absorption peak of 99.1% at 8.72 GHz, which shows an excellent agreement with our simulated results. By simply assembling several JCs with slightly different geometric parameters next to each other into a unit cell, a perfect multi-band absorption can be effectively obtained. The experimental results show that the MA has four distinct and strong absorption peaks at 8.32 GHz, 9.8 GHz, 11.52 GHz and 13.24 GHz. Finally, the multi-reflection interference theory is introduced to interpret the absorption mechanism.     

High-performance double-sided absorber,based on metamaterial

We propose a double-sided metamaterial perfect absorber (MPA) at microwave frequencies, showing absorption of 96.8% at 8.45 GHz. By employing identical front metal-patterned layer for the backside of MPA, it presents the same performance for the incident wave from both sides. Minimization of the reflectance and the transmission, by matching the impedance of free space with that of the MPA and by increasing the imaginary part of refractive index, leads to high absorption. We demonstrated the absorption mechanism with the distribution of power loss and surface current at the absorption frequencies. The polarization-insensitivity was also achieved due to the symmetric pattern, and the influence of incident angle for the TE mode was also elucidated. These properties are expected to be used in practical applications such as communication device, sensing, and imaging.     

Triple-band metamaterial absorber based on single resonator

The single resonator generally reveals a single absorption band, and the resonators with different sizes or shapes have to be arranged in order to achieve multi-absorption bands. We propose the triple-band metamaterial absorber by utilizing only single resonator. Meta-atoms are made of the toothed-wheel shape metallic pattern and a continuous metallic plane, separated by a dielectric layer. The first and the third absorption bands are induced by the fundamental and the third-harmonic magnetic resonances, respectively, and the second absorption band is induced by the magnetic resonance relevant to two grooves. In addition, the diffraction peak appears between the second and the third absorption bands, due to the surface currents which are separated between the upper and the lower metallic pattern parts. The proposed structure is scalable to smaller size for the infrared and the visible regimes.

Perfect metamaterial absorber based on a split-ring-cross resonator

In this paper, we present a polarization-insensitive metamaterial (MM) absorber which is composed of the dielectric substrate sandwiched with split-ring-cross resonator (SRCR) and continuous metal film. The MM absorber is not limited by the quarter-wavelength thickness and can achieve near-unity absorbance by properly assembling the sandwiched structure. Microwave experiments demonstrate the maximum absorptivity to be about 99% around 10.91 GHz for incident wave with different polarizations. The surface currents distributions of the resonance structure are discussed to look into the resonance mechanism. Importantly, our absorber is only 0.4 mm thick, and numerical simulations confirm that the MM absorber could achieve very high absorptivity at wide angles of incidence for both transverse electric (TE) wave and transverse magnetic (TM) wave. The sandwiched structure is also suitable for designing of a THz and even higher frequency MM absorber, and simulations demonstrate the absorption of 99% at 1.105 THz.

Broadband visible metamaterial absorber based on a three-dimensional structure

In this paper, a broadband metamaterial absorber is successfully designed by a three-dimensional structure. And the three-dimensional absorber is just obtained by a two-dimensional structure which rotates 90°along x-axis. The simulated results show that the absorption of the three-dimensional metamaterial absorber is much better than the two-dimensional absorber. Moreover, the absorber is polarization-sensitive for the incident electromagnetic waves due to the asymmetry of the structure. Compared with the Y-polarization wave, the proposed absorber can realize broadband absorption with greater than 90% from 355.6 to 737.7 THz for X-polarized wave. Finally, based on the analysis of the electric field and surface current distributions, it can demonstrate that the localized surface plasmons and dipoles resonances will play an important role in the broadband absorption. And we believe that the metamaterial absorber will have many potential applications in emitter and energy harvesting.     

Wideband optical absorber based on plasmonic metamaterial cross structure

The optical absorber with Fano response is valuable for various applications such as solar cells or optical sensors. In this paper, we have modeled an optical plasmonic metamaterial absorber which contains a broken cross as an elementary cell along with four rectangular loads to improve the absorbance and achieve a Fano response within a wide bandwidth at 190–245 THz (25%). The bandwidth of the proposed structure is more than conventional metamaterial absorbers. The prototype absorber has a remarkable enhancement in the electric field in comparison with the simple cross model and the reflection value has reduced to ??47 dB. The parametric studies show how the gap capacitance controls the bandwidth, resonance frequency and the reflection value of the absorber, therefore we can consider this technique as a way to enhance the metamaterial absorber’s bandwidth. The proposed structure can be used as an optical refractive index sensor while the Fano line-shape provides a higher figure of merit (FOM) compared with many others. For this structure, the FOM has obtained as 10,660. The Finite Integration Technique with Perfect Boundary Approximation used for the simulation.     

Tunable multi-band terahertz absorber based on graphene nano-ribbon metamaterial

The tunable multi-band selective absorption effect with graphene nano-ribbon metamaterial is investigated. It is achieved by depositing a set of graphene nano-ribbons on a dielectric spacer backed with a metallic mirror. A dual-band and tri-band absorbers are designed to illustrate such multi-band selective absorption behavior. The designed graphene absorbers exhibit near-unity absorption at multiple resonance frequencies, which is attributed to the plasmonic resonance of graphene nano-ribbons with different widths. Moreover, the multiple resonance wavelengths can be tuned in a wide frequency range by changing the Fermi energy and the absorbers possess large angle insensitivity. Last, a Fabry-Perot model is employed to give a physical understanding of such multi-band selective absorption effect. It is believed that the conclusions may be useful for designing of next-generation graphene-based optoelectronic devices.     

Perfect metamaterial absorber

We present the design for an absorbing metamaterial (MM) with near unity absorbance A(omega). Our structure consists of two MM resonators that couple separately to electric and magnetic fields so as to absorb all incident radiation within a single unit cell layer. We fabricate, characterize, and analyze a MM absorber with a slightly lower predicted A(omega) of 96%. Unlike conventional absorbers, our MM consists solely of metallic elements. The substrate can therefore be optimized for other parameters of interest. We experimentally demonstrate a peak A(omega) greater than 88% at 11.5 GHz.

Broad band absorber based on cascaded metamaterial layers including graphene

In order to extend the absorption band of the metamaterial with tilted graphene sheets, we use cascaded metamaterial layers and study the dependence of absorption on the structure parameters. The absorption spectra can be obtained through the transfer matrix method that we derive from the special metamaterial. The individual band of these metamaterial layers could be adjusted by modifying their geometrical and electrical parameters. We find that the absorption bandwidth of cascaded structure can be much increased with the number of layers increasing.
