We designed an ultra-thin dual-band metamaterial absorber by adjusting the side strips’ length of an H-shaped unit cell in the opposite direction to break the structural symmetry. The dual absorption peaks approximately 99.95% and 99.91% near the central resonance frequency of 4.72 THz and 5.0 THz were obtained, respectively. Meanwhile, a plasmon-induced transmission (PIT) like reflection window appears between the two absorption frequencies. In addition to theoretical explanations qualitatively, a multi-reflection interference theory is also investigated to prove the simulation results quantitatively. This work provides a way to obtain perfect dual-band absorption through an asymmetric metamaterial structure, and it may achieve potential applications in a variety of fields including filters, sensors, and some other functional metamaterial devices.

We report a wide-angle polarization-sensitive dual-band absorber with a grating structure. The unit cell is made of two metal–dielectric–metal structures with different dielectric-layer thicknesses. The simulation results show that the dual-band absorption peaks for TM polarization can be tuned by varying the thickness of the dielectric layer. Also, the dual-band absorption magnitudes are more than 0.9 for both absorption peaks for angles up to 60°. At the same time, TE-polarized light has been reflected effectively in the visible and infrared regimes. Our results may have potential applications in polarization detectors and reflective polarizers.

In this article, an ultrathin terahertz dual band metamaterial absorber made up of patterned asymmetrical double-split rings and a continuous metal layer separated by a thin FR-4 layer is designed. Simulation results show that two almost identical strong absorption peaks appear in the terahertz band. When the incident electric field is perpendicular to the ring gaps located at 11 μm asymmetrically, the absorptivity of 98.6% at 4.48 THz and 98.5% at 4.76 THz can be obtained. The absorption frequency and the absorptivity of the absorber can be modulated by the asymmetric distribution of the gaps. The perfect metamaterial absorber is expected to provide important reference for the design of terahertz modulator, filters, absorbers, and polarizers.

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.

Due to the problems that the metal pattern layer on the top of the traditional metamaterial structure is easy to be oxidized and easy to fall off, in this paper, a novel semiconductor metamaterial nanostructure composed of a periodic array of GaAs-SiO2 cubes and a gold (Au) film has been proposed. Using FDTD solutions software to prove this metamaterial structure can achieve ultranarrow dual-band, nearly perfect absorption with a maximum absorbance of 99% and a full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) value that is less than 20 nm in the midinfrared region. The refractive index sensitivity is demonstrated by changing the background index and analyzing the absorption performance. It had been proved that this absorber has high sensitivity (2000/RIU and 1300/RIU). Using semiconductor material instead of the metal material of the top pattern layer can effectively inhibit the performance failure of the metamaterial structure caused by metal oxidation. The proposed narrow, dual-band metamaterial absorber shows promising prospects in applications such as infrared detection and imaging.
