Abstract Graphene, as a new nano-material, according to the physical properties of electric field localization and selective absorption on light of surface plasmon resonance (SPR), a tunable, multi-band and wide-angle perfect absorber based on crosshair-shaped graphene is devised by using the Finite Difference in Time Domain (FDTD) method. In this paper, the effects of chemical potential, relaxation time, and incident angle of light on the absorptivity of graphene are systematically discussed. The simulation experiment shows that there are two absorption peaks with perfect absorption rate appeared in the study range, and the maximum modulation index can be obtained by changing the relaxation time. Finally, it proves that the absorber is insensitive to wide-angle of light. Thus, it is able to be concluded that the absorber has a great reference value to sensor, wireless communication, biomedical and other fields.
