A single-patterned five-band terahertz metamaterial absorber based on simple metal–dielectric–metal sandwich structure is investigated and demonstrated. The numerical simulations reveal the different dependence of the absorption ability on the incident polarization angle, dielectric layer, and structural dimensions of the single pattern. The extracted electric field distribution indicates that the five-band near-perfect absorption performance (average over 98%) mainly originates from the combination of LC, dipole, quadrupole, and high-order resonance. The researches on magnetic field and power loss density distributions further reveal the absorption mechanism. Moreover, additional resonance mode can be excited to form a six-band high-performance absorber only by adjusting some geometric dimensions of the single pattern with multiple resonance modes. The simple method provides us a very good idea to implement a super multi-band absorber. The proposed absorbers here can be applied in massive related fields, such as metamaterial sensors, thermal radiation, and imaging system.

Source Wave

We theoretically and numerically designed a perfect metamaterial absorber at microwave frequencies. The proposed design has a very simple geometry, wide band properties and provides perfect absorption for all polarization angles which is one of the most desired properties for an absorber structure to be used in the applications where the source polarization is unknown. In order to explain the absorption mechanism both numerical and theoretical analyses are carried out. Designed structure offers a perfect absorption at around 9.8 GHz. The resonance frequency does not change depending on the source wave polarization. In addition, it can be easily reconfigured for THz and infrared regimes for different applications such as sensors, defense systems and stealth technologies.

Triple Band

A facile design of a novel triple-band electromagnetic metamaterial absorber (MMA) with polarization insensitive property is proposed in this paper. Each unit of the MMA consists of upper copper resonator and bottom copper plate with middle dielectric FR-4 between them. The MMA performs three absorption peaks at 16.919 GHz, 21.084 GHz and 25.266 GHz with absorption rates 99.90%, 97.76% and 99.18%, respectively. The influence of the main structural parameters on the frequencies and absorption rates is analyzed. The absorption mechanism of the absorber is explained by electric field, magnetic field and surface current distributions, which is supported by the electromagnetic parameters, affected with magnetic resonance. The polarization-insensitivity of TE wave is verified by observing the effects of the polarization angle change from 0-90º. The MMA can be applied in radiation, spectrum imaging detector, electromagnetic wave modulator, and so on.

This paper presents a simple metamaterial design to achieve the triple-band near-perfect absorption response that can be used in the area of sensor application. The introduced absorber consists of an array of Au strip and a bulk flat Au film separated by an insulator dielectric layer. Three narrow-band resonance absorption peaks are obtained by superposing three different modes (a fundamental mode resonance and two high-order responses) of the Au strip. These resonance modes (in particular of the last two modes) have large sensitivity to the changes of the surrounding index, overlayer thickness and the refractive index of the overlayer.

Absorption Level

A new metamaterial absorber (MA) having distinct properties than those given in the literature is investigated. Although several designs have been studied for achieving absorption characteristics in single-band, dual-band and multiple bands within the whole spectrum of solar light, there has been limited number of researches examining the broadband MA in the visible light section of the spectrum. The designed structure is composed of the combination of three layers having different thicknesses including a metallic substrate, dielectric and a metal layer. Due to the sandwich-like structure, it can support the plasmonic resonance. The proposed structure, which provides a maximum absorption level of 99.42% at 579.26 THz, has a high absorption rate of 99% between the frequency band 545 and 628 THz. Numerical results indicate that the proposed structure has perfect absorption which is greater than 90.98% through the whole working frequency band. The dependency of the designed structure on the polarization angle is investigated for different incident angles with TE and TM polarizations as well as the TEM mode. In addition to its potential applications such as solar cells and cloaking, the designed structure can also be considered as a color sensor and an optical frequency sensor.

Abstract We propose an ultra-thin multiband terahertz metamaterial absorber, whose thickness is only 3.8μm. Simulation results show that we can get four narrow absorption peaks with near-perfect absorption in the 4.5 THz-6.0 Thz frequency range. The resonance absorption mechanism is interpreted by the electromagnetic field energy distributions at resonance frequency. Moreover, we also analyze the sensing performances of the absorber in the refractive index and the thickness of the analyte. The refractive index and thickness sensitivities of the sensor are 0.471THz/RIU, 36.594THz/RIU and the FOMs are 8.887RIU -1 , 938.308RIU -1 , respectively. The absorber has potential applications in photodetector, multi-spectral imaging and biosensors.

Abstract We present a tunable multichannel absorbers in a hybird optical Tamm system at near-infrared frequencies. The simulation results reveal the structure capable of exciting four perfect absorption peaks, which are generated by two types of resonance, namely a guide-mode resonance (GMR) in a graphene-based grating and optical resonance induced by Tamm states in metal-photonic crystal heterostructure-metal (M-PCH-M) composites based on transfer matrix theory (TMT). The numerical and theoretical studies show that the strong coupling between the two modes gives rise to mode hybridization by adjusting the grating period. Coupled mode theory (CMT) has been employed to explain the strong coupling phenomenon. Furthermore, the active modulation of the GMR-based peak can be manipulated discretely by tuning the polarization angle or continuously by changing the chemical potential of graphene. The presented optical absorption filter is going to satisfy high level of effectiveness when developing perspective high-performance optoelectronic devices including modulators, switches, solar cells, thermal radiation and wave filters.

In this work, a quadruple-band dielectric metamaterial absorber (MMA) was proposed and studied, which is composed of eight cuboid dielectric particles and a metallic ground plate. When electromagnetic wave is incident on the dielectric particles, dielectric particles act as resonators and produce abundant resonant modes, which can result in perfect absorption. In simulation, four absorption peaks are observed at 9.13, 9.62, 10.0 and 10.46[Formula: see text]GHz with 88%, 89%, 100% and 96%, respectively. By adjusting geometry parameters of the dielectric particles, dielectric MMAs with different bands can be obtained. Further investigation shows that the absorption peaks can be changed by increasing the permittivity of the dielectric. Based on the designing technique of using simple cuboid dielectric particles directly acting as resonator, this work provides a simple method to construct multiband all-dielectric MMA.

Abstract We present a hybrid Tamm system targeting the tunable multichannel absorber. The proposed optical absorber is analyzed and investigated by using the transfer matrix method (TMM). The numerical and theoretical studies show that the four perfect absorption peaks are generated by two types of resonant modes excited in the structure, which can be reasonably explained by the guide-mode resonance (GMR) and optical Tamm state (OTS). More importantly, the strong interaction between the two modes gives rise to mode hybridization by adjusting the grating period. Furthermore, the active modulation of the GMR-based peak can be manipulated discretely by tuning the polarization angle or continuously by changing the chemical potential of graphene. The presented optical absorption filter will meet high level of effectiveness in developing high-performance optoelectronic devices.
