Coherent Perfect Absorber

In this paper, a triple-band hybridization coherent perfect absorber based on graphene metamaterial is proposed, which consists of graphene concentric nanorings with different sizes and a metallic mirror separated by SiO2 layer. Based on the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) solution, triple-band coherent perfect absorption is achieved at frequencies from 0.6 THz to 1.8 THz, which results from the surface plasmon resonance hybridization. The wavelength of the absorption peak can be rapidly changed by varying the Fermi level of graphene. Most importantly, the wavelength of the absorption peak can be independently tuned by varying the Fermi level of the single graphene nanoring. Moreover, the triple hybridization perfect absorber is angle-insensitive because of the perfect symmetry structure of the graphene nanorings. Therefore, our results may widely inspire optoelectronic and micro-nano applications, such as cloaking, tunable sensor, etc.

Perfect Absorption

A subwavelength metamaterial perfect absorber (MPA) in optical communication band was proposed and tested using the finite-difference time-domain method. The absorber is periodic and comprises a top layer of diamond silicon surrounded by L-shaped silicon and a gold layer on the substrate. It can achieve dual-band perfect absorption, and one of the peaks is in the optical communication band. By changing the gap (g) between two adjacent pieces of L-shaped silicon, and the thickness (h) of the silicon layer, the resonance wavelength of absorption peak can be tuned. When the incident electromagnetic wave entered the absorber, the metamaterial absorber could almost completely consume the incident electromagnetic waves, thereby achieving more than 99% perfect absorption. The absorption peak reaches 99.986% at 1310 nm and 99.421% at 1550 nm. Moreover, the MPA exposed to different ambient refraction indexes can be applied as plasma sensors, and can achieve multi-channel absorption with high figure of merit (FOM*) value and refractive index (RI) sensitivity. The FOM* values at 1310 nm and 1550 nm are 6615 and 168, respectively, and both resonance peaks have highly RI sensitivity. The results confirm that the MPA is a dual-band, polarization-independent, wide-angle absorber and insensitive to incident angle. Thence it can be applied in the fields of optical communication, used as a light-wave filter and plasma sensor, and so on.

In this work, a multi-band metamaterial perfect absorber is demonstrated numerically and experimentally in the microwave region based on the breaking symmetry of geometrical structure. Initially, when the structure, which is designed in the X shape, is in the symmetric geometry, only one absorption peak is observed. By breaking the symmetry of structure, new absorption peaks emerge, leading to the multi-band perfect absorption. In addition, the separations of absorption peaks are proportional to the degree of geometrical asymmetry. Our work presents a simple and efficient approach to create multi-band metamaterial perfect absorbers.

Coherent Perfect Absorber

Abstract A suspended monolayer graphene has only about 2.3% absorption rate in visible and infrared band, which limits its optoelectronic applications. To significantly increase graphene’s absorption efficiency, a tunable dual-band and polarization-insensitive coherent perfect absorber (CPA) is proposed in the mid-infrared regime, which contains the silicon array coupled in double-layers graphene waveguide. Based on the FDTD methods, dual-band perfect absorption peaks are achieved in 9611 nm and 9924 nm, respectively. Moreover, due to its center symmetric feature, the proposed absorber also demonstrates polarization-insensitive. Meanwhile, the coherent absorption peaks can be all-optically modulated by altering the relative phase between two reverse incident lights. Furthermore, by manipulating the Fermi energies of two graphene layers, two coherent absorption peaks can move over a wide spectrum range, and our designed CPA can also be changed from dual-band CPA to narrowband CPA. Thus, our results can find some potential applications in the field of developing nanophotonic devices with excellent performance working at the mid-infrared regime.

This paper reports an independently tunable graphene-based metamaterial absorber (GMA) designed by etching two cascaded resonators with dissimilar sizes in the unit cell. Two perfect absorption peaks were obtained at 6.94 and 10.68 μm with simple single-layer metal-graphene metamaterials; the peaks show absorption values higher than 99%. The mechanism of absorption was analyzed theoretically. The independent tunability of the metamaterial absorber (MA) was realized by varying the Fermi level of graphene under a set of resonators. Furthermore, multi-band and wide-band absorption were observed by the proposed structure upon increasing the number of resonators and resizing them in the unit cell. The obtained results demonstrate the multipurpose performance of this type of absorber and indicate its potential application in diverse applications, such as solar energy harvesting and thermal absorbing.

Effective Application

We simulate, fabricate and measure a microwave absorber by introducing metamaterial design method to magnetic material. The proposed absorber is composed of periodic copper wire array, magnetic material coated on copper wires, a foam substrate and a bottom metal plane. The results show a nearly perfect absorption peak around 8.7GHz (simulated) and 7.6GHz (measured). Even though the electric and magnetic field distribution indicate that the absorption is a typical metamaterial absorption, the power loss is neither Ohmic nor dielectric loss but magnetic loss, which is different from typical metamaterial absorber. The skillful introduction of the magnetic loss improves the absorption performance, including the absorption bandwidth and intensity. The designed absorber shows an effective application of the magnetic material, which is only 1/60000 volume proportion of the total absorber. Dependences of the absorption on frequency and the coating volume of the magnetic material manifest that the coated magnetic material can adjust the absorption peak position and intensity. The absorber can be an attractive candidate of electromagnetic wave absorber.

Abstract Coherent perfect absorption (CPA) describes the absence of all outgoing modes from a lossy resonator, driven by lossless incoming modes. Here, we show that for nanoresonators that also exhibit radiative losses, e.g., plasmonic nanoantennas, a generalized version of CPA (gCPA) can be applied. In gCPA outgoing modes are suppressed only for a subset of (guided plasmonic) modes while other (radiative) modes are treated as additional loss channels - a situation typically referred to as perfect impedance matching. Here we make use of gCPA to show how to achieve perfect impedance matching between a single nanowire plasmonic waveguide and a plasmonic nanoantenna. Antennas with both radiant and subradiant characteristics are considered. We further demonstrate potential applications in background-free sensing.
