Dual broadband metamaterial absorber

A broadband low-reflection metamaterial absorber

Artificially engineered metamaterials have enabled the creation of electromagnetic materials with properties not found in nature. Recent work has demonstrated the feasibility of developing high performance, narrowband electromagnetic absorbers using such metamaterials. These metamaterials derive their absorption properties primarily through dielectric loss and impedance matching at resonance. T...

A dual band terahertz metamaterial absorber

We present the design, fabrication and characterization of a dual band metamaterial absorber which experimentally shows two distinct absorption peaks of 0.85 at 1.4 THz and 0.94 at 3.0 THz. The dual band absorber consists of a dual band electric-field-coupled (ELC) resonator and a metallic ground plane, separated by an 8μm dielectric spacer. Fine tuning of the two absorption resonances is achie...

A Broadband Flexible Metamaterial Absorber Based on Double Resonance

We present a broadband microwave metamaterial (MM) absorber, the unit cell of which consists of a lumped-resistor-loaded electric-inductive-capacitive (ELC) resonator and a cut-wire on the same side of a flexible polyimide substrate. In contrast to the common MM absorber, the metallic pattern layer of the proposed structure is placed parallel to the direction of propagation of the incident wave...

Broadband terahertz metamaterial absorber based on sectional asymmetric structures

We suggest and demonstrate the concept and design of sectional asymmetric structures which can manipulate the metamaterial absorber's working bandwidth with maintaining the other inherent advantages. As an example, a broadband terahertz perfect absorber is designed to confirm its effectiveness. The absorber's each cell integrates four sectional asymmetric rings, and the entire structure compose...
