In this study, we present a two-dimensional dielectric grating which allows achieving high absorption in a monolayer graphene at visible and near-infrared frequencies. Dielectric gratings create guided-mode resonances that are exploited to effectively couple light with the graphene layer. The proposed structure was numerically analyzed through a rigorous coupled-wave analysis method. Effects of geometrical parameters and response to the oblique incidence of the plane wave were studied. Numerical results reveal that light absorption in the proposed structure is almost insensitive to the angle of the impinging source over a considerable wide angular range of 20°. This may lead to the development of easy to fabricate and experimentally viable graphene-based absorbers in the future.

Perfect absorbers have been extensively investigated due to their significant value in solar cell, photodetection, and stealth technologies. Various subwavelength structures have been proposed to improve the absorption performances, such as high absorptance, broad band, and wide absorption angle. However, excellent performances usually put forward higher requirements on structural designs, such as varying the geometry sizes or shapes to fit different center wavelengths, which inevitably increases the fabrication burden. Here, a planar sandwich structure involving a layer of highly lossy material is proposed to achieve a robust perfect absorption with 95% absorptance ranging from the visible to near infrared range. Such an excellent absorption performance is also polarization-independent and applicable to a wide incident angle. Furthermore, the proposed design can also be applied to conformal surfaces with a 90% fluctuation over a steep surface. We believe that the proposed perfect absorber with distinguished performances can find wide application.

We report an anti-reflective cover glass for Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) thin film solar cells. Subwavelength structures (SWSs) were fabricated on top of a cover glass using one-step self-masked etching. The etching method resulted in dense whiskers with high aspect ratio. The produced structure exhibited excellent anti-reflective properties over a broad wavelength range, from the ultraviolet to the near infrared. Compared to a flat-surface glass, the average transmittance of the glass integrated with the SWSs improved from 92.4% to 95.2%. When the cover glass integrated with the SWSs was mounted onto the top of a CIGS device, the short-circuit current and the efficiency of the solar cell were enhanced by 4.38 and 6%, respectively, compared with a CIGS solar cell without cover glass.
