Wide-angle infrared absorber based on a negative-index plasmonic metamaterial
نویسندگان
چکیده
A metamaterial-based approach in making a wide-angle absorber of infrared radiation is described. The technique is based on an anisotropic perfectly impedance-matched negative-index material PIMNIM . It is shown analytically that a PIMNIM that is subwavelength in all three dimensions enables absorption close to 100% for incidence angles up to 45° to the normal. A specific implementation of such frequency-tunable PIMNIM based on plasmonic metamaterials is presented. Applications to infrared imaging and coherent thermal sources are described.

متن کامل] 2 1 D ec 2 01 1 Interference theory of metamaterial perfect absorbers
The impedance matching in metamaterial perfect absorbers has been believed to involve and rely on magnetic resonant response, with a direct evidence from the anti-parallel directions of surface currents in the metal structures. Here we present a different theoretical interpretation based on interferences, which shows that the two layers of metal structure in metamaterial absorbers are linked on...
